Despite the major version increment, Firefox 62.0 doesn’t really have any new features worth mentioning. However, it’s an important update, because it addresses at least nine security vulnerabilities that range from Low to Critical in severity.
One change in Firefox 62.0 is worth pointing out: the Description field for bookmarks has been removed. Any Description information you previously added to your bookmarks can still be exported from Firefox. From the release notes: “Users who have stored descriptions using the field may wish to export these descriptions as html or json files, as they will be removed in a future release.”
You can usually encourage Firefox to update itself by navigating its ‘hamburger’ menu to Help > About Firefox.
