This release augments the Firefox for iOS app with several usability and security improvements. New users benefit from an updated list of popular web sites available on the home screen, which are easily removable. We provided autocompletion for most-popular web addresses so the user can quickly find the websites they are looking for with less typing. The browser now handles all links to Apple Maps and many third-party applications like Twitter. To keep users' passwords safer, the option to access logins through Passcode/TouchID has been introduced.

This release introduces more usability improvements and iOS integration features.  Users can now quickly get to their bookmarks through the awesome bar search results.  We are handling certificate errors by allow the user to view the certificate or temporarily ignore the error.  When you add Firefox to your Today widget, you can open new tabs quickly, or open links that you have copied to your clipboard. We are also improving our sync process, by performing a background sync on exiting the app.
