14 DAY TRIAL // Mozilla has just released another update for Firefox browser to resolve other issues related to the extension bug discovered last week.
Firefox 66.0.5 is thus available for download on all supported platforms, and Mozilla strongly recommends users to install it, especially if they continue experiencing issues with extensions.
Last week, Mozilla discovered a bug that caused extensions to be disabled in Firefox, and the company quickly rolled out a temporary fix for affected devices.
Earlier this week, the company returned with a full patch included in Firefox 66.0.4, and now it’s rolling out another update that’s supposed to correct other problems that are related to the same issue.
Few details are available about what’s being fixed in this update, but the official changelog published by Mozilla claims this update brings” further improvements to re-enable web extensions which had been disabled for users with a master password set.”
Update available right now
In a separate post last updated May 7, Mozilla explains that users should install this update as soon as possible. The automatic update is supposed to be offered to everyone in approximately 24 hours.
“Firefox 66.0.5 has been released, and we recommend that people update to that version if they continue to experience problems with extensions being disabled. You’ll get an update notification within 24 hours, or you can initiate an update manually. An update for ESR users will be available tomorrow. We’re also working on a fix for older versions of Firefox, and will update this post and on social media as we have more information,” the company explains.
You can download Firefox for Windows, Linux, and Mac from Softpedia using these links, and given the important fixes it includes, you’re recommended to do it as soon as possible.
The update can also be launched using the built-in engine system by heading over to Firefox menu > Help > About Firefox.
