Just a month after shipping version 73 of its Firefox browser, Mozilla has released version 74 with a range of privacy and security enhancements.
Firefox 74 fixes the problem by using multicast DNS with ICE to create a random ID that cloaks a computer's IP address.
In Firefox 74, users must manually install the extensions that they want, and they can also remove previously sideloaded extensions using the add-ons manager.
Firefox 74 also officially deprecates versions of TLS before 1.2.
If a website tries to use a pre-1.2 version of TLS, Firefox 74 will now show an error page.
