Firefox Version 84



Firefox's features are robust and generally competitive. The most important feature in the modern Firefox is Sync.Sync now smoothly syncs your bookmarks, passwords, preferences, history, and tabs, not only with other computers, but also with your Android version of Firefox. The latest Firefox version includes security updates so downgrading to an older version leaves you more vulnerable to attacks and usually doesn't fix the problem. This article gives you some alternatives to downgrading and links to older versions of Firefox, if you do choose to downgrade.

< Release Management

This schedule is based on the current RapidRelease plan. Future dates may change if the process changes. Code is not always released to users on the same day as the branch migration. The release to users may be a few days later, to allow for manual testing and sign-off. Thunderbird tracks the ESR schedule column per Thunderbird release info.

If you’re on a Mac computer with Apple Silicon, you will need to fully exit and restart Firefox after upgrading to Firefox 84+ in order for Firefox to run on the new architecture, which has faster performance and better battery life.

After updating to Firefox 84+ from an older version:

  1. Go to the Firefox menu at the top of the screen.
  2. Select Quit Firefox.
  3. When you re-open Firefox, you’ll be on the new architecture.

Tip: You can also confirm that you’re using the Apple Silicon version of Firefox by entering about:support in the address bar and seeing that Rosetta Translated is showing up as false.
