Mozilla Firefox 36 to support the HTTP/2 protocol

Mozilla has decided to support the HTTP/2 protocol in its upcoming Firefox 36.0. The technology has been finalised as the next-generation HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) network protocol. The Internet will adopt the new protocol in the near future. Mozilla had proposed to use HTTP/2.0 in upcoming Firefox releases a few weeks ago. The decision was finalised on February 17.

OpenLiteSpeed Web server has decided to support HTTP/2 draft 16. Even Microsoft IIS Web server will support the HTTP/2 protocol in upcoming Windows 10 OS. We can expect more and more technologies to adopt the HTTP/2 protocol in the coming months.

Mozilla Firefox 36.0 adds many innovative features to the browser like the pinned tiles sync function. The native HTML5 YouTube playback will be a much appreciated feature in the new browser. A newly designed Preferences interface is enabled in the new browser. The flash protected-mode sandbox is disabled on Windows to evaluate the stability impact of protected mode.

Firefox will no longer accept the insecure RC4 ciphers, whenever possible. The support for ECMAScript 6 symbol data type has been added to the new version. Mozilla has implemented Unicode range CSS descriptor in the new browser version. Users can create a new stacking context to isolate groups of boxes, to control which to blend together in Firefox 36.0. You can expect more privacy features in this version of Firefox than ever before.

The major addition of full support for HTTP/2.0 protocol enables a faster, more capable and more responsible Web browsing experience.
