Today Mozilla has announced the release of Firefox 40. The latest version of the well known web browser comes with a few new things, but perhaps the most notable is its enhanced support for Windows 10.

The new toolbar size is ridiculous and ugly. You can't change the icons size anymore (or else it's now a hidden feature...)

    Only reason I find Opera, better than all other browsers out there, is for its Advanced Keyboard Shortcuts

        Now Mozilla should just place their browser in the Windows 10 Store.

              Try Cyberfox, 64bit version of firefox, it's an awesome browser. I use it since I got my first 64bit PC.

                    Still no option to disable image or javascript. Latest firefox gives less and less choice.
                    Chrome and Opera still a better browser.

                        yeah chrome is a RAM hog

                          AnonD-425519, 11 Aug 2015I use Chrome and I have to use another theme or else the wh... moreIt's not about the engine. It's strictly about the new thread/processes and RAM usage. Firefox won't change this and I am glad about that. Everytime I use Chrome I get that Wait/Kill Page(?) error. Chrome needs better resource management.

                            I use Chrome and I have to use another theme or else the whole top bar is white and tabs white. Terrible design from Google. I'm using the beta version of Chrome so no excuses from Google!
                            At least Mozilla is smart to change the color of the tab bar to a darker color to accommodate the color of the tabs.
                            Let's not forget that Firefox has awesome themes also that can change the experience while Chrome only changes colors.
                            I still use Chrome as it's smoother =( Can't wait for Firefox to update its engine.

                              If user wasn't unchecked new default apps then yes - default browser is Edge. Personally I was unchecked all new default apps on upgrade progress, so I don't have any problems and Firefox is still my default browser.

                                It's Windows 10 which needs to come up with better (much much better) support for almost everything!
