Mozilla released four "critical" fixes for memory- and privilege-related bugs.

Firefox 22 also includes a new feature called “OdinMonkey," which is said to improve JavaScript performance for developers, and other new browser enhancements, such as Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) being enabled by default, allowing users to video chat, share files and carry out other real-time communications without the need for add-ons.
