Mozlla Firefox Version 56.0.1 Released


FirefoxMozilla sent Firefox Version 56.0.1 to the release channel today.  The update includes one fix and the migration to 64-bit Firefox for users of the 32-bit version.  Note the unresolved issues!

Firefox ESR remains at version 52.4.0.

Fixed

  • Block D3D11 when using Intel drivers on Windows 7 systems with partial AVX support (bug 1403353)

Changed

  • Users of 32-bit Firefox on 64-bit Windows are migrated to 64-bit Firefox for increased stability and security.

Unresolved

  • Due to a bug in Mac OS X High Sierra, fullscreen mode has some issues
  • Startup crash with RelevantKnowledge adware installed. Firefox Support has helpful instructions to remove it.
  • Startup crashes with 64-bit Firefox on Windows 7, for users of Lenovo's "OneKey Theater" software for IdeaPad laptops. To fix this crash, please re-install 32-bit Firefox.
  • Users running Firefox for Windows over a Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) may find that audio playback is disabled due to increased security restrictions. Learn how to mitigate this issue until it is corrected in an upcoming release

Update:

To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox menu, then pick "About Firefox."  Mac users need to select "About Firefox" from the Firefox menu. If you do not use the English language version, Fully Localized Versions are available for download.
