After hard development work, we already have here the brand new browser Firefox 50, a browser that has important news and is now available for download on any operating system.
The most significant change that Firefox 50 has is the inclusion of emoticons in the browser for operating systems that do not have native fonts for them, being among them the majority of Linux operating systems.
The rest of the changes that can be highlighted in Firefox 50 have to do with various topics, such as security. An important security change now tells us which are the insecure password forms, since now the classic padlock icon in supposedly secure sites will appear crossed out if it is not really a secure site.
The "find in page" function has also been included, with which we can search in greater detail for any word on a web page. The other changes have to do with the correction of bugs detected in previous versions, an improvement in how the edges are displayed and finally an improvement in the system to print in read mode.
Sure, it's not really too many changes, but they are quite useful and important. For example, changing the lock for crossed out passwords It will allow you to know if a site may be insecure even if it is https, something that will help you to be more careful before putting your password there on public networks or somewhere where they may be spying on you.
Regarding the change of emoticons, it is something useful and necessary, since in 2016 these characters are used a lot, which the computer was not able to display in many operating systems (the typical square zero appeared). Thanks to this update, this problem will have been solved forever.
The latest version of Firefox 50 anda will be available in the repositories of your favorite distribution and if it isn't, it will be in the next few hours.
