Thanks for updating your Firefox! This latest version comes with the following features to help you find what you're looking for faster based on Alexa.

Access top-ranked sites based on Alexa data (for new users only)

If you have not yet synced Firefox with other devices, it will suggest five of the top-ranked sites for your country.

These sites will eventually be replaced by your most recently and frequently visited sites as you continue to use Firefox. You can also delete a top site by long-pressing on it, then choosing Remove from the menu that pops up.

Get to websites faster with URL autocomplete

Visit popular websites quickly. When you start entering a popular Web address, Firefox will automatically complete it for you. If there are several possible addresses for the website you are typing, Firefox will suggest possible domains.

Suggestions are based on your history and the top 100 Alexa websites.

Easier access to your history and bookmarks with menu shortcuts

In addition to being on the home screen, the Firefox menu now has shortcuts to Bookmarks and History so you can get to your favorite websites faster.
