Mozilla has added security improvements to Firefox 32, including a new HTTP cache for improved performance, public key pinning to defend users from man-in-the-middle and other attacks, and easy language switching on Android.
According to The Hacker News, public key pinning is a security measure that ensures people connect to the websites that they intend to. Pinning allows users to keep track of certificates in order to specify which certificate authorities (CAs) have issued valid certificates for their sites, rather than accepting any one of the hundreds of built-in root certificates that ship with Firefox.
The latest update also lets you easily clear your app’s browsing history at the end of every browsing session by tapping the new option at the bottom of your History home screen page.
