Firefox’s new Version 54 browser is finally here, and expectations are very high. Following the trend set by Google Chrome and then copied by many others, Firefox’s updated browser will run faster and more smoothly than ever before. Let’s take a look at the different features and improvements we’re supposed to be able to see:

Users can expect to experience better speed when having multiple tabs open. Users will finally be able to open multiple tabs on the internet browser without the loading speed of any one tab being affected by others, thanks to Version 54’s multiple processes. This upgrade will show on both desktop and mobile.

Firefox, created by the Mozilla Foundation in 2002, was close behind Internet Explorer in popularity until 2011, the year Google Chrome was released. Firefox’s technological advancements have been slow for the past six years, constantly trailing behind other browsers that upgrade their systems as soon as a functioning version comes out. This could be the company’s chance to catch up.

Firefox’s latest update could have the advantage over Chrome, which can take up storage space on computers with minimal memory. By integrating several different processes into its new browser, the company was able to find a happy medium between storage use and web or website speed.

Computers that use Linux, Windows 10, and macOS in particular should cooperate exceedingly well with the new Firefox. For additional benefits, the update employs security and bug remedies for the most popular platforms.

Although Chrome and Internet Explorer still rank higher than Firefox in terms of usage, its Version 54 could bump it up the list, or at least, help the browser redeem itself.
