Windows 10: New Firefox Beta for Windows 10 ARM64 Always Connected PCs

Brink · Apr 11, 2019

Whether it’s checking the weather forecast or movie times, you can always count on the web to give you the information you’re seeking. Your choice of operating system and computer shouldn’t change your online experience. As part of Mozilla’s mission, we built Firefox as a trusted user agent for people on the web and it’s one of the reasons why we’re always looking to work with companies to optimize Firefox Quantum for their devices.

Last December, we announced our collaboration with Qualcomm, to create an ARM64-native build of Firefox for Snapdragon-powered Windows 10 Always Connected PCs. Today, we’re excited to report its availability in our beta release channel, a channel aimed at developers or early tech adopters to test upcoming features before they’re released to consumers.

Today’s release builds on the performance work done for Firefox Quantum, which uses multiple processes as efficiently as possible. Working with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon compute platform, we’re able to push the multi-core paradigm one step further, offering octa-core CPUs. We’re also taking advantage of Rust’sfearless concurrency to intelligently divide browsing tasks across those cores to deliver a fast, personal, and convenient experience.

Snapdragon powered Always Connected PCs are ideal for the road warrior because they are thin, fanless, lightweight with a long battery life and lightening fast cellular connectivity, and built to seamlessly perform daily work tasks on-the-go. We’re no stranger to optimizing the Firefox browser for any device. From Fire TV to the new iPad, we’ve custom tailored Firefox browsers for a number of different devices, because it shouldn’t matter what device you use.

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.

Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.

Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
