Mozilla firefox 48, new version with multithreaded windows

One of the most used Internet browsers in the world comes to a new stable version, Firefox 48, with the novelty of including a new multithreaded kernel.

Firefox 48, faster and more stable

Starting with Firefox 48, the browser will change the way it works thanks to the incorporation of multiprocessing, which makes Firefox faster at delivering results in navigation and with greater stability. The operation of multithreading in Mozilla Firefox is quite simple, each tab will work independently, this makes the browser continue to work even when a tab or window is blocked for some reason.

The arrival of the multithreaded kernel in Firefox has been expected for several years, when the project was called Electrolysis . After several comings and goings with this project during the last 7 years, you can finally see the light in this new final version of Firefox 48.

By default this function would be disabled for most but you can check if it is working by entering the URL about: support in the search bar. Thanks to this change you will be able to notice an improvement in the general performance of the browser, faster and more stable.

In addition to this novelty, the inclusion of a greater number of suggestions in the search bar and the usual improvements in browser security that never hurt.

The Android version of Firefox has also received some improvements, for example, if you are watching a video and receiving a call, the video will be paused automatically. It can also be pointed out that the Reading Lists now become part of the Bookmarks and the synchronized tabs go to History.

Mozilla Firefox 48 is available right now on its official page, if you are already using the browser you will surely have received the notification from the browser itself.
