* [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/81.0/releasenotes/ Firefox 81] is our current stable release. This release has been in the wild since last Tuesday. Firefox 81 arrived with, among other enhancements, a new theme called Alpenglow. If you haven't checked that out, do. It's quite nice.

Since the merge last week, 82 has received 34 changes including an update to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1666265 enable WebRender for more people] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=1664981,1665779,1663972,1666964,1663920,1665272,1667032 a number of printing fixes.]
* Firefox 83 is in the Nightly channel and over the last week it received about 350 changes. The most intersting change this week was [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1666417 enabling Warp]. Warp is the name of a significant update to SpiderMonkey, our JavaScript Engine.

Warp will let us improve security, performance, memory usage and maintainability of the whole engine. Turning on Warp for Nightly has already shown a large improvement for web performance there. For example, loading Google Docs is about 20% faster with Warp enabled. If you're on Nightly, you can find the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1665415 on/off switch] for Warp in the Experimental Features section of Preferences/Options.
