Mozilla has released Firefox 63 which is the latest version of its flagship browser for Linux, macOS and Windows users. Alongside this version, Mozilla has also released Firefox 14.0 for iOS users.

From now on, iOS users will be able to open a new tab on Firefox using a voice command on Siri.
In addition to all these changes, Firefox desktop version has also brought several improvements in its UI and some bug fixes for Windows users.
