The installation of the update can be done automatically or manually (on the desktop via Settings, on mobile through the stores), and all the news can be found in English on the official Mozilla website.
Firefox now activates the Enhanced Tracking Protection which blocks third-party tracking cookies (at least the known ones) by ensuring maximum user privacy where possible. There are also news for IT Managers on Firefox Quantum for Enterprise, with different possibilities for customization in order to guarantee a safe user experience for employees in many different work contexts.

Firefox 68, the news on the desktop
There are not many news on the desktop, but the few are quite interesting. The browser’s reading mode already had an option to change the background from white to dark (or sepia).

The most succulent novelty on the desktop, is related to the presence of a new section on the Extension Management page, which leads to a series of recommended Extensions.
