Introducing Site Isolation in Firefox
When two major vulnerabilities known as Meltdown and Spectre were disclosed by security researchers in early 2018, Firefox promptly added security mitigations to keep you safe. Going forward, however, it was clear that with the evolving techniques of malicious actors on the web, we needed to redesign Firefox to mitigate future variations of such vulnerabilities and to keep you safe when browsing the web!
We are excited to announce that Firefox’ new Site Isolation architecture is coming together. This fundamental redesign of Firefox’ Security architecture extends current security mechanisms by creating operating system process-level boundaries for all sites loaded in Firefox for Desktop. Isolating each site into a separate operating system process makes it even harder for malicious sites to read another site’s secret or private data.
We are currently finalizing Firefox’s Site Isolation feature by allowing a subset of users to benefit from this new security architecture on our Nightly and Beta channels and plan a roll out to more of our users later this year. If you are as excited about it as we are and would like to try it out, follow these steps:
💡 To enable Site Isolation on Firefox Nightly:
1.) Navigate to about:preferences#experimental
2.) Check the “Fission (Site Isolation)” checkbox to enable.
3.) Restart Firefox.
💡 To enable Site Isolation on Firefox Beta or Release:
1.) Navigate to about:config.
2.) Set
3.) Restart Firefox.
With this monumental change of secure browser design, users of Firefox Desktop benefit from protections against future variants of Spectre, resulting in an even safer browsing experience. If you aren’t a Firefox user yet, you can download the latest version here and if you want to know all the technical details about Firefox’ new security architecture, you can read it here.

🇵🇸 Freed Palestinian prisoner: 'I was explicitly threatened with rape'
Lama Khater, a #writer released in the sixth batch of Palestinian prisoners as part of the truce agreement, revealed that Israeli forces threatened to rape her and burn her #children. Describing the harrowing conditions, she stated: "Today, male and female prisoners are enduring what can be considered forced #starvation, in complete #isolation."
Khater describes how an Israeli solider told her that his rage would only be satisfied if he killed 50,000 children in Gaza.
Khater confirmed that at least 10 Palestinian females from the Gaza Strip were transferred to jail two days before the truce. She added that these women were arrested by Israeli forces while fleeing from northern to southern #Gaza. According to Khater, Israel seems to target mothers, forcing them to separate from their children.
