Waterfox: download ældre versioner

Changes
- Fixed various theming issues.
- Fixed various vertical tab issues.
- Latest security fixes.

Changes - Updated the JPEG-XL library to the latest version. This should stop various websites that serve .jxl files from crashing in the tab they’re loaded. - The missing strings for Look & Feel page are now no longer missing, meaning you can change your theme preferences once again.

Changes - A re-jig of the system requirements to run Waterfox. We now expect the same minimum as Windows 10. For posterity, that essentially means for our x86 builds, any CPU that supports SSE3. - We have now bumped the “tuned” CPU code generation to match Skylake2 processor instruction sets. This should result in better performance if you have an Intel Skylake (or equivalent AMD processor) or better.

Changes
- Critical Security Fixes, please update as soon as possible.
- DRM now works on macOS, so you can stream all your favourite shows on platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and more.

Changes in G6.0.2

Critical security fix.
Waterfox has re-introduced the ability to change the behaviour of “click to select all” in the address bar, removed by Firefox.
Typically, when you click on the address bar, whatever is in there is automatically selected.
You can treat the address bar as a standard input field by toggling `browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll` to `false` in `about:config`.
With the above set to false, you can enable a double click to select all by setting `browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll` to `true`.
Changes in G6.0.1

Update privacy preferences.
Fixes issues with logging into websites that use a referrer.
Use standard tracking protection for now, to prevent issues with logging in.
Modify samesite rules so they’re strict on non-http websites.
Remove Firefox view tour prompt.
Fixed an issue with language packs not working correctly.
Added support for Windows Long Paths. Thanks to @goodusername123
Prevent new searches and opening bookmarks from opening in a new tab by default.

New Features

Waterfox uses DNS over Oblivious HTTP, a privacy preserving method for DNS queries.
You can now move and remove the extension button from the navigation bar.
Access this via Menu > More tools > Customize toolbar…
Waterfox is now built with new optimisation techniques, giving you a faster browsing experience.
