The launch of Firefox 47 arrives loaded with news and improvements that affect the operation of the tabs, the playback of YouTube videos and unfortunately the end of support for older versions of Android.

Firefox 47 improves tab management and video playback on YouTube

Firefox 47 is the end of the compatibility of this popular browser with the Android Gingerbread operating system, from Mozilla they think that the market share of this version is too low and they have decided to eliminate the support in order to offer better support to the other platforms.

Firefox 47 arrives loaded with improvements in security and stability as is usual in all its versions. However, we found some additional changes that affect the synchronization of the tabs. Starting with this version, when opening the browser on our desktop it will show us the tabs we have open on our mobile devices. Something that will be very useful when changing devices to resume our tasks with greater speed.

We also found improvements when playing videos on YouTube. This version Firefox 47 includes the VP9 codec used in the HTML5 implementation of YouTube. With this we will achieve better performance when playing videos as well as a decrease in battery consumption and bandwidth used.

If you use Firefox as a browser on your PC, the new version Firefox 47 is already available on the official website of the browser, while the Android version is already on Google Play. You can check the complete list of Firefox 47 news on the Mozilla page.
