Changes for v56.1.0 - v56.2.0

  • Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories patched:
  • 2018-11
  • 2018-10
  • General Desktop
  • Remove Google Play Services from Android (will now be able to add to F-Droid!)
  • Stylo is now built, but disabled by default.
  • Rust components are now built with optimisations.
  • Updated various media codecs.
  • Back ported performance improvements for JavaScript (should now stop the high CPU usage!)
  • Tested a new way to keep Waterfox components up to date with the release branch of Firefox (includes security and performance upgrades for the components):

  • svg.context-properties.content.enabled is now true by default.

Uncharted 4 Mac OS also has a multiplayer mode in which they take control of different characters from the Uncharted series. In multiplayer mode, the players can use mystical powers, such as healing stones or mass destruction weapons. In conclusion, this game has everything it. LotsaWater for Mac is a free water-themed screensaver that looks quite good on newer Macs, even those with retina displays. The screensaver is exactly as it sounds, a rippling water effect that. Photo Bulk for Mac is a lightweight application that lets you easily add a watermark to an image. You just need to drag and drop your image into the app, choose the watermark type from the menu, modify the settings to your choices, and you are good to go. More sounds, more inspiration. Plug in your USB keyboard and dive into the completely inspiring.
