INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Mozilla on Tuesday shipped Firefox 74
Wait, didn't we just get a new Firefox a minute or two ago?It may feel that way
Firefox 74 arrived just four weeks after its predecessor, continuing the faster release cadence promised last year.The refreshed browser
dropped support for the now-obsolete TLS 1.0 and 1.1 cryptographic protocols, blocked all add-on "side-loading" except that allowed by
enterprise-managed group policy, and enabled support for a header element designed to safeguard against attacks based on the Meltdown and
Spectre hardware-based vulnerabilities first revealed two years ago.Mozilla's security engineers also patched a dozen vulnerabilities,
half of them labeled "High," Mozilla's second-most-serious threat label
As usual, some of the flaws might be used by criminals.
