<description>This update for MozillaFirefox to ESR 60.2 fixes several issues.
These general changes are part of the version 60 release.
- New browser engine with speed improvements
- Redesigned graphical user interface elements
- Unified address and search bar for new installations
- New tab page listing top visited, recently visited and recommended pages
- Support for configuration policies in enterprise deployments via JSON files
- Support for Web Authentication, allowing the use of USB tokens for
authentication to web sites
The following changes affect compatibility:
- Now exclusively supports extensions built using the WebExtension API.
- Unsupported legacy extensions will no longer work in Firefox 60 ESR
- TLS certificates issued by Symantec before June 1st, 2016 are no longer trusted
The "security.pki.distrust_ca_policy" preference can be set to 0 to reinstate
trust in those certificates
The following issues affect performance:
- new format for storing private keys, certificates and certificate trust
If the user home or data directory is on a network file system, it is
recommended that users set the following environment variable to avoid
slowdowns: NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE=yes
This setting is not recommended for local, fast file systems.
