then there is one e10s webcompatibility fix (bug 1291078) & maybe also security-related fixes (disclosed at the time of the release, in case there are any)..
there should be a 48.0.1 update within the next days - the main driver for it are a couple of stability fixes:
*startup crash with websense - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1294650 bug 1294650]
*startup crash with old mcafee siteadvisor extensions - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1131180 bug 1131180]
*2 OOM crashes - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1281168 bug 1281168], [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1290469 1290469]
*a plugin-related crash - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1264530 bug 1264530].

48.0.1 is now live and automatic updates have been reenabled. so i guess we can expect a new load of questions from users who just migrated from 47 to 48 in the forum (so far only ~20% of users have been updated to 48).
edit: ...and they are halted again. the websense startup crash is still there :-/

Is this a new bug? Following update to 48.0.1 (with Windows 10) I could not open multiple tabs which had been loaded via Speed dial or website name? Has this been a problem to other users? I had to do a restore to an earlier date and get back to vers 47!

May I suggest you post your own question in the support forum. Please use /questions/new/desktop Please try to follow the prompts to include your troubleshooting information.
Restoring to an earlier date with Windows is not often the best fix, and continuing to use an outdated Firefox is usually best avoided. It is possible there is software of similar names around, and we may not be certain exactly what you are using.
Once you have posted a support question please reply here to let us know so we are able to help with this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience but we can not move posts from here to the support forum.
Hi chippyal
Thanks for the post. It is possibly a fault with the speeddial add-on.
See for instance this question post
* [/questions/1135313 My speed dial was deleted by Mozilla]

48.0.2 has been released now with another attempt to tackle the websense startup crash. automatic updates got generally reenabled now, so we should get a big bunch of windows users update from version 47 to 48 now...

new approach to work around the websense dilemma (as 48.0.2 still hasn't reliably addressed that startup crash and automatic updates were turned off):
firefox 40-47 users will receive a hotfix which is detecting if websense is present on a system. in case it isn't present the update url will be slightly appended so we can single out those user who are good to update to 48, and they will finally receive automatic updates again.

there is a huge rise in questions about startup crashes from norton users, i filed [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302343 bug 1302343] for it and started tagging user reports: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/firefox?tagged=bug1302343&show=all
