Firefox 57 Brings Better Sandboxing on Linux (bleepingcomputer.com)

Catalin Cimpanu, writing for BleepingComputer: Firefox 57, set to be released tomorrow, will ship with improvements to the browser's sandbox security feature for Linux users. The Firefox sandboxing feature isolates the browser from the operating system in a way to prevent web attacks from using a vulnerability in the browser engine and its legitimate functions to attack the underlying operating system, place malware on the filesystem, or steal local files. Chrome has always run inside a sandbox. Initially, Firefox ran only a few plugins inside a sandbox -- such as Flash, DRM, and other multimedia encoding plugins.

Dear PaleMoon devs, a request... apk

[Anonymous Coward]

This FF 57++ builds sounds really good (assuming it's not bs lie propoganda pr, which I say it's not) - strip it of any "no good" elements & INCOPORATE IT into the next Palemoon builds, please!

* I've been gravitating towards PaleMoon a bit (as an alternate to Classic Opera 12.18 64-bit I use 90% of the time to this day) & would LOVE to see a build based on this engine from Mozilla (minus ANY tracking/advertising machine stuff of course).

Addons I like (NoScript only - lol, helps me FIND SCRIPT TAGS script src to block in hosts) are ported already to "WebExtensions" so, "have @ it" boys!

APK

P.S.=> Thanks - should this take place that is & of course, also assuming all the "grapevine talk" in favor of this build IS true (I assume it is currently)... apk
