Latest Firefox Released for Windows

I did the update to Firefox 64 yesterday. I like this new Firefox Task Manager. I think this is the first "new" feature that Firefox has implemented in many years that I find some real usefulness for my personal case use of the browser. Right away, after doing the update, I went and tested the impact of using and not using NoScript when visiting websites that are loaded with content that is not needed for doing anything that's important. I used NoScript for about 10 years, the only extension I use, and I am a big fan of it. For me is easy to tell the impact of using or not using NoScript is huge when visiting this type of sites, but I never used any tool to confirm the difference or to gauge that difference. But now we have the Task manager that can be used for that purpose.

Using cbssports, a site I visit everyday is a good website to use as an example to show the difference in impact in the browser when using or not using NoScript. I like cbssports but is a horrendous site, loaded with some much garbage that you need something like NoScript to clean it up. Look, first picture, watching a video with NoScript On, and only allowing to run the content thats required for the video to play, the impact is Medium 5.37. And no trackers, etc. The second picture, with NoScript Off, everything runs, watching same video, impact is high 91.75. Trackers running, and etc.

In settings under search remove the checkmark wrapped in green

Yeah, I've always had that unchecked, too. . .



Couple more apparent "new" things (features I guess) ??

I don't think I have ever seen this before, and it was auto checked (default) ?



Under Network Settings, I do not recall seeing this ?

It was auto un-checked (default) ?



One more thing, has anybody ever figured out this setting. . . I've fooled with it some, but I'm not sure I notice a difference ?





Every thing seems to work really good, though. . . ? .

Firefox puts lovely logo on the New Tab page, provided you only show Search Bar in settings...
