Now available in more of the places where they browse, Firefox users can access the web whether they\u2019re relaxing at home with their laptop, in front of their TV with Amazon Fire TV, or at the office. Additionally, we\u2019re running a contest (with prizes!) for users who want to help with the next Firefox Quantum release in May. So, without further ado, here\u2019s information on this week\u2019s Firefox releases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><b>Latest Firefox Quantum release for Desktop<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Today, March 13, the latest release of Firefox Quantum for desktop users is now available. We\u2019ve improved privacy for those who use Private Browsing mode. To learn more about the technical details on how that works, you can visit this <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/security\/2018\/01\/31\/preventing-data-leaks-by-stripping-path-information-in-http-referrers\/\">blog post<\/a>. And, we made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/59.0\/releasenotes\/\">changes under the hood<\/a> where users may notice faster page load times. The latest version of Firefox Quantum is available for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/new\/\">Desktop<\/a> and Mobile &#8211; iOS and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dmozilla%26utm_medium\">Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><b>Latest Firefox for Amazon Fire TV Available this Week<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">With this latest release, we&#8217;ve included a fresh new look to help you easily navigate the web on your Fire TV. No more typing in long URLs that you like to visit frequently. Users can now save their preferred websites by pinning them to the Firefox home screen. By using the menu button, you can easily remove any pinned websites at any time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11299\" style=\"width: 908px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11299\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11299\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/home-screen_1520625424716.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2018\/03\/home-screen_1520625424716.png 640w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2018\/03\/home-screen_1520625424716-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2018\/03\/home-screen_1520625424716-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Add your favorite websites to Firefox on Fire TV<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><b>Firefox Quantum for Enterprise Available Wednesday in Beta<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Starting on Wednesday, Firefox Quantum for Enterprise enters Beta, as a final step towards bringing a release version of Firefox Quantum to enterprise users.
