For those who prefer to wait for the official launch today, make sure your browser pointed toFirefox.com.  If you use Firefox on your Android device, make sure to check for app updates over on theGoogle Play Store as a new version is likely arriving today as well.

There’s no official Firefox 19 change log as of yet, but the beta release notes should serve as a decent guideline:

  • DEVELOPER: Web Console CSS links now open in the Style Editor.
  • HTML5: CSS @page is now supported.
  • HTML5: CSS viewport-percentage length units implemented (vh, vw, vmin and vmax).
