Do Son Mozilla announced the official version of Firefox 59.0 / 60.0 Beta 3 today. However, since the new version of the installation file was issued earlier, the stable version and the latest beta version of the update information have not yet had time to sort out, and the release page also shows a blank status. However, we have obtained some updated information from previous test versions.
Firefox 59 introduced a new privacy setting that does not allow malicious websites to access the user’s camera, microphone, or location, but also prohibits requests from sending you notifications. After this feature is enabled, all off-listed websites will not be able to request permission to send notifications. In the current stable version of Firefox, users can go to the “Privacy and Security” entry in the settings panel to set up websites that can access locations, cameras, microphones, and notifications in the privileged area to ensure that users can protect your personal information during the Internet access. Privacy and online security.
However, in the upcoming Firefox 59 release, Mozilla has added a new option to allow users to block requests for the camera, microphone, location, and notification requests. Mozilla wrote in Firefox 59’s update log: “New features added to the about:preferences page allow users to block requests for access to webcams, locations, etc. sent from malicious websites, in addition to ensuring that users trust the site’s normal access.”
