   Firefox 49.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Mozilla has updated its [1]Firefox Web browser to version 49.0 with
   improved performance on OS X systems without hardware acceleration and
   improved appearance of anti-aliased OS X fonts. It also adds controls
   to Reader Mode that enable you to adjust the width and line spacing of
   text, as well as adds the Narrate feature to read the content of a page
   out loud. Finally, Firefox 49.0 ends support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow
   Leopard, 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion, as well as support for the
   Skype-like Firefox Hello communication client (introduced back in late
   2014; see '[2]Firefox 34.0,' 7 December 2014). (Free, 81.3 MB,
   [3]release notes, 10.6+)
