An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from VentureBeat:Mozilla today launched Firefox 38 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android (http://venturebeat.com/2015/05/12/firefox-38-arrives-with-drm-tech-required-to-watch-netflix-video-ruby-annotation-revamped-look-on-android/). Notable additions to the browser include Digital Rights Management (DRM) tech for playing protected content in the HTML5 video tag (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/05/12/update-on-digital-rights-management-and-firefox/) on Windows, Ruby annotation support, and improved user interfaces on Android. Firefox 38 for the desktop is available for download now on Firefox.com (http://firefox.com/), and all existing users should be able to upgrade to it automatically. As always, the Android version is trickling out slowly on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox).Note that there is a separate download (http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/38.0/win32-EME-free/) for Firefox 38 without the DRM support (http://techcrunch.com/2015/05/12/mozilla-launches-a-new-firefox-version-without-drm-support/). Our anonymous reader adds links to the release notes for desktop (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/38.0/releasenotes/) and Android (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/38.0/releasenotes/).
