 Mozilla has decided to support 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 to the new protocol in near future. Mozilla had proposed to use HTTP/2.0 in upcoming Firefox few weeks ago. The decision was finalised on 17 February.




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 to HTTP/2 protocol in coming months.

Mozilla Firefox 36.0 is all set to release on 24 February. The latest browser will bring number of innovative features to the browser. Firefox 36.0 will introduce pinned tiles sync function. The native HTML5 YouTube playback will be much appreciated feature in the new browser. 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.
