Firefox 37 is the latest stable update to grace the open source web browser. It introduces new locales (Albanian, Burmese, Lower Sorbian, Songhai, Upper Sorbian, and Uzbek), changes the default search provider to Yandex for Turkish users, and improves download performance thanks to alterations in the back-end.
The most visible change for most users is likely a tweak to the URL bar, which now shows a website's address instead of its title by default.
Left: Old default behavior, Right: New default behavior
If you don't like this change, you can switch back to the old behavior in the app's settings.
The changelog contains quite a few more items, though most of them are rather boring. You can browse through them at your own pace below.
