Firefox 54 released

Firefox 54.0 has been released. The release notes are somewhat sparse, however this blog post contains more information about some changes under-the-hood. "To make Firefox run even complex sites faster, we’ve been changing it to run using multiple operating system processes. Translation? The old Firefox used a single process to run all the tabs in a browser. Modern browsers split the load into several independent processes. We named our project to split Firefox into multiple processes ‘Electrolysis (E10S)’ after the chemical process that divides water into its core elements. E10S is the largest change to Firefox code in our history. And today we’re launching our next big phase of the E10S initiative."
