![]() ![]() Now let’s take a look at what’s new in Firefox beta depending on what device you’re using. Public key cryptography and the BrowserID protocol: Separation between authentication, authorization, and data storage servers to minimize the number of servers that handle authentication material, and thus reducing our attack surface.End-to-end encryption: even if Mozilla’s servers are compromised, it is extremely difficult to access a user’s data.Client side key stretching: a technique that protects against man-in-the-middle attacks, even when SSL credentials are compromised.More specifically, Mozilla underlines three improvements: Firefox Accounts, which is part of Firefox OS as well, lets users keep track of their login credentials for various services, their bookmarks, history, and any open tabs.įirefox Sync, the service that actually lets you take your bookmarks, tabs, and personal information with you to another device, is now more secure. According to Mozilla, the revamped feature “makes it even easier to setup and add multiple devices.”įor those who don’t know, Mozilla announced the new Accounts and Sync just last month. This is a massive release: Firefox Sync has been revamped and is now powered by Firefox Accounts, there’s a new customization mode, and the major user interface overhaul Australis has finally arrived.įirst and foremost, you can try the new Firefox Sync by simply creating an account: all four platforms support it. Following the release of Firefox 28 just two days ago, Mozilla today updated its Firefox Beta channel to version 29 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. ![]()
