### 1. OCSP Enabled ### 1. Staying Up-to-Date with Firefox
Zen Browser tracks Firefox updates very closely:
- We update Zen to the latest Firefox release within **0–72 hours** so we can always stay up to date with security fixes.
- We test upcoming versions using Firefox **RC builds** on the *Twilight* branch about **one week before** each official release.
You can check which Firefox version Zen is currently based on here:

This ensures that you only connect to safe websites with up-to-date and valid certificates, protecting you from malicious sites that may have expired or revoked certificates.
