Title: Mozilla Firefox Version 119.0 Released with Security Updates
Post by: Corrine on October 24, 2023, 05:11:51 PM
Mozilla sent Firefox Version 119.0 to the release channel. The update includes eleven security updates of which three (3) are rated high, seven (7) moderate, and one (1) rated low.

Firefox ESR was updated to Version 115.4.

Note: Effective November 1, 2023, Mozilla will be renaming Firefox Accounts to Mozilla Accounts. From Firefox accounts renamed Mozilla accounts - What you need to know (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-accounts-renamed-mozilla-accounts):

QuoteWhy the renaming?
Over the years, Firefox accounts expanded its role beyond being solely an authentication solution for Firefox Sync. It now serves as Mozilla's main authentication and account management service for a wide range of products and services, supporting millions of active account customers globally. As such, the original "Firefox" branding no longer accurately reflects the broad scope of Mozilla's offerings. The renaming is intended to create a more consistent brand experience across all Mozilla surfaces, driving higher awareness of the portfolio of Mozilla products (http://'https//www.mozilla.org/firefox/products/').

A new account isn't needed and sign-in remains the same. Additional information is available in the referenced support document.

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 (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release) are available for download.
