Special thanks to the 33 contributors that added <a href="http://mzl.la/1pGLFDs">all the features and fixes</a> in this release.</p>
<h3 id="CSS">CSS</h3>
<ul>
<li>Implemented {{cssxref("@counter-style")}} rule ({{bug(966166)}}).</li>
<li>Unprefixed <code>ethiopic-numeric</code>, <code>persian</code>, <code>arabic-indic</code>, <code>devanagari</code>, <code>bengali</code>, <code>gurmukhi</code>, <code>gujarati</code>, <code>oriya</code>, <code>tamil</code>, <code>telugu</code>, <code>kannada</code>, <code>malayalam</code>, <code>thai</code>, <code>lao</code>, <code>myanmar</code>, <code>khmer</code>, <code>cjk-heavenly-stem</code>, <code>cjk-earthly-branch</code> in {{cssxref("list-style-type")}} ({{bug(985825)}} and {{bug(1063856)}}).</li>
<li>Added support for <code>mongolian</code>, <code>disclosure-open</code> and<strong> </strong><code>disclosure-closed</code> counter styles in {{cssxref("list-style-type")}} ({{bug(982355)}} and {{bug(1063856)}}).</li>
<li>Fixed CSS animations with empty keyframes rule so they also dispatch events ({{bug(1004377)}}).</li>
<li>Added support for <code>rebeccapurple</code>, a new {{cssxref("<color>")}} name defined in CSS Colors level 4 ({{bug(1024642)}}).</li>
<li>Our experimental implementation of CSS Fonts Level 3 progresses. Its activation is governed by the the <code>layout.css.font-features.enabled</code> preference, enabled by default in Nightly. Newly implemented features are:
<ul>
<li>The fallback algorithm of {{cssxref("font-variant-caps")}}, creating synthetic alternates for missing glyphs ({{bug(961558)}}).</li>
<li>The {{cssxref("font-synthesis")}} CSS property has been implemented ({{bug(871453)}}).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="HTML">HTML</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added the experimental support for {{htmlelement("picture")}} element ({{bug(870022)}}), behind the <code>dom.image.picture.enabled</code> preference (off by default).</li>
<li>The {{HTMLElement("label")}}, especially without a {{htmlattrxref("for", "label")}} attribute, doesn't apply anymore to a <code><input type=hidden></code> field ({{bug(597650)}}). The previous behavior wasn't spec compliant.</li>
<li>The link annotation <code>noreferrer</code> has been implemented on {{HTMLElement("a")}} elements. <code><a rel="noreferrer"></code> will not include the URL of the referrer in the HTTP request sent to fetch it ({{bug(530396)}}). Note that this work only for in-page links, not for linked clicked via the UI, like via contextual menus.</li>
<li>On Android, support for two new values for the {{htmlattrxref("name", "meta")}} attribute of {{HTMLElement("meta")}} has been added: <code>msapplication-TileImage</code> and <code>msapplication-TileColor</code> ({{bug(1014712)}}).<br>
Example:<br>
<code><meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="images/benthepcguy-144.png"/><br>
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#d83434"/></code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="JavaScript">JavaScript</h3>
<ul>
<li>The non-standard method {{jsxref("Number.toInteger()")}} has been removed ({{bug(1022396)}}).</li>
<li>The {{jsxref("Map.prototype.set()")}}, {{jsxref("WeakMap.prototype.set()")}} and {{jsxref("Set.prototype.add()")}} methods are now chainable, return their equivalent objects and no longer <code>undefined</code> ({{bug(1031632)}}).</li>
<li>A <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Default_parameters">default parameter</a> is evaluated before function declarations inside the function body, so those functions cannot be referred from default parameter ({{bug(1022962)}}).</li>
<li>Shorthand properties are now allowed in object literals: if not explicitly defined, property keys are initialized by variables of the same name. E.g. <code>function f(x, y) { return {x, y}; }</code> is equivalent to <code>function f(x, y) { return {x: x, y: y}; }</code> ({{bug(875002)}}).</li>
<li>The parsing of <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/yield">yield</a></code> and <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/yield*">yield*</a></code> has been updated to conform with the latest ES6 specification ({{bug(981599)}}).</li>
<li>The non-standard <code>hasOwn</code> trap has been removed ({{bug(980565)}}).</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="InterfacesAPIsDOM">Interfaces/APIs/DOM</h3>
<ul>
<li>The {{domxref("RadioNodeList")}} API has been implemented and the selected radio button is accessible via {{domxref("RadioNodeList.value")}} ({{bug(779723)}}).</li>
<li>The {{domxref("DOMMatrix")}} has been added ({{bug(1018497)}}).</li>
<li>A non-standard (but implemented in other browsers) <code>DOMException.stack</code> property has been added. It returns a string with a human-friendly formatted stack ({{bug(857648)}}), in the same format as the existing non-standard {{jsxref("Error.stack")}} property.</li>
<li>For {{HTMLElement("canvas")}}, the method {{domxref("CanvasPattern.setTransform()")}}, allowing to modify a pattern using the {{domxref("SVGMatrix")}} representation of a linear transform ({{bug(1019257)}}).</li>
<li>Our experimental implementation of Media Source Extensions, behind the <code>media.mediasource.enabled</code> preference, enabled by default in Nightly and Aurora only, now supports MP4 ({{bug(1000686)}}).</li>
<li>The properties {{domxref("HTMLMediaElement.audioTracks")}} and {{domxref("HTMLMediaElement.videoTracks")}} have been experimentally implemented. They are controlled by the <code>media.track.enabled</code>, off by default ({{bug(744896)}}).</li>
<li>The non-standard <code>XMLHttpRequest.mozBackgroundRequest()</code> is no more accessible from Web sites. Only Firefox-internal code (Chrome code) can use it ({{bug(1035242)}}).</li>
<li>The {{event("touchenter")}} and {{event("touchleave")}} events, removed from the specification, have been removed ({{bug(1036444)}}).</li>
<li>The formely called <code>loaded</code> event, sent on a {{domxref("HTMLTrackElement")}} has been renamed {{event("load")}} to match the specification ({{bug(1035505)}}).</li>
<li>The IndexedDB interface {{domxref("FileHandle")}} has been renamed in {{domxref("IDBMutableFile")}} ({{bug(1006485)}}).</li>
<li>The IndexedDB interface {{domxref("LockedFile")}} has been renamed in {{domxref("IDBFileHandle")}} ({{bug(1006485)}}).</li>
<li>The {{domxref("ServiceWorker")}} interface has been implemented, behind the <code>dom.serviceWorkers.enabled</code> flag ({{bug(903441)}}).</li>
<li>The {{domxref("NetworkInformation.type")}} now also support the <code>"unknown"</code> value ({{bug(1023029)}}).</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="MathML">MathML</h3>
<ul>
<li>The attributes <code>columnspacing</code>, <code>framespacing</code>, and <code>rowspacing</code> of the {{MathMLElement("mtable")}} element are now supported ({{bug(330964)}}).</li>
<li>Use <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/MathML:Open_Type_MATH_Table#Implementation_Status">Open Type MATH</a> constants for fractions, stacks, radicals, and scripts ({{bug(961365)}}).</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="SVG">SVG</h3>

</ul>
<h2 id="Security">Security</h2>
<ul>
<li>The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Security/CSP">CSP</a> 1.1 <code>frame-ancestors</code> <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Security/CSP/CSP_policy_directives">directive</a> is now supported ({{bug(846978)}}).</li>
