[silversurfer]

Probably the biggest change in Firefox 65 for Android is probably the enhanced security measures that Mozilla's Firefox team worked on since the previous release by enabling the "Stack smashing" protection by default to prevent malicious actors from corrupting or taking control of a vulnerable program. This feature is also present in Firefox 65 for Linux and macOS.

"Enhanced security for macOS, Linux, and Android users via stronger stack smashing protection which is now enabled by default for all platforms. "Stack smashing" is a common security attack in which malicious actors corrupt or take control of a vulnerable program," reads the release notes.

The Firefox 65 for Android release also promises to improve the overall performance of the mobile web browser by making scrolling faster and more responsive, as well as the web compatibility by adding support for the WebP image format, which offers same image quality at smaller file sizes to speed up browsing and also save your mobile data plan.
