Updates can now be performed by Windows users without write permissions to Firefox install directory (requires Mozilla Maintenance Service)

Support for H.264 on Linux if the appropriate gstreamer plug-ins are installed

They're still in BoM 15.1. Cursory research tells me they've been stuck there since FF21. How much trouble is it to make up a few new lines?

The twins of Mammon quarrelled. Their warring plunged the world into a new darkness, and the beast abhorred the darkness. So it began to move swiftly, and grew more powerful, and went forth and multiplied. And the beasts brought fire and light to the darkness.
