What is the CEF?

Chromium Embedded Framework, I guess… ???

This update seems very light on detail, so much so that I have to wonder if it is going to resolve issues with 2241 that people (me for one) have been experiencing during browsing and email from early 2016 beta, RC and final versions.

I may just give this one a miss, which will only be the 2nd beta trial skipped in over eleven years.

Still nothing done for Firefox 64bit and browser plugin?

I was updated to 2016.11.2243, why no mention of that here?

Hi RejZoR,

FF 64-bit will be supported once it will be official and not developer. The reason is that sideloading is done via registry and Developer edition has different records.
