Firefox 39.0 Final released
Mozilla has released the final version of Firefox 39.0 for both desktop and mobile. Firefox 39.0 integrated Firefox Share into Firefox Hello to help you share anything on the Web with any or all of your friends.
Firefox 39.0 also added screen sharing feature to Firefox Hello, that allows the host to share a browser tab or application window while in the video conversation.

Pocket is available in Firefox Accounts in U.S. English, German, Japanese, Russian and European Spanish while we continue to add support for more languages and features.
