New Firefox v63 is now available for the Android platform with lots of new features and improvements. The most important integration is the Picture-in-Picture mode and notification channels. We already know what PiP mode is capable of doing. If you’are watching a video in full screen, then on pressing the home button or opening any other App, the video screen will resize to a smaller screen. It will shrink to a corner of the display. You can even move the screen to any side or corner of the display.
With notification channel, Android devices browser will now have options for downloads, media playback, location messages, synced tabs, and push notifications. We expect more channels will add up in the coming days.
