155.0 Firefox Release
Firefox releases Smart Window to users in the US, Canada, and France and adds faster, more personalized chat, smarter tab grouping, tracker counts in the address bar, and broader translation, privacy, developer, web platform, and bug fixes.
New
Smart Window is now available for all users in the USA, Canada, and France to try out! Additionally, Firefox 155 includes many new enhancements:
- New personalized resume conversation starters help users quickly return to topics they’ve been working on.
- Assistant now responds much faster with Exa web search source citations to provide accurate, trustworthy web grounding in roughly 1/5 the time.
- Organize Tabs now suggests better groupings of your related tabs and gives each group a clearer, more descriptive name.
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
Firefox now shows how many trackers it has blocked in the address bar, making built-in privacy protections easier to see while browsing. The count can be hidden in settings without turning off tracker blocking.
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
Nintendo Switch Pro and compatible aftermarket controllers now work fully in web games on Windows, with the directional pad and analog sticks correctly mapped.
Containers can now be reordered in Settings, and the new order is used wherever containers are listed.
The Translations feature now supports the following languages:
- Marathi
- Urdu
Fixed
Fixed text disappearing in Microsoft 365 Word Online and other web apps on Linux when typing with certain keyboard layouts.
Fixed an unnecessary paste confirmation appearing when using the keyboard shortcut to paste without formatting in Google Docs.
Firefox now recovers from the toolbar and tab strip being left unresponsive when the platform fails to end a tab drag session.
Fixed text inside buttons not being selectable or copyable, which prevented copying direct messages on X and comments on YouTube.
Fixed live audio streams such as internet radio stopping when playing in the background.
Fixed the sound indicator disappearing from a tab that was moved to another window, leaving no way to see or mute what was playing.
Fixed Firefox preventing Linux systems from going to sleep after a long browsing session.
Fixed full screen content being letterboxed on MacBooks with a camera notch, most visibly when watching video.
Fixed arrow-key and Page Up/Down scrolling not working on some pages with embedded content from other sites.
Fixed characters from some less common scripts appearing as empty boxes on web pages on Windows.
Fixed WebCodecs VideoEncoder hanging on macOS when encoding a VideoFrame in NV12 format.
Various security fixes.Changed
Firefox now limits CSS to 75 levels of nested blocks and functions, preventing crashes that extremely deep nesting can cause under some circumstances. More deeply nested rules and values no longer parse.
Firefox now uses firefox-portal-detection.com instead of detectportal.firefox.com to detect captive portals and check network connectivity, so network allowlists referencing the old domain need updating.
Firefox now opens mailto: links only in response to an explicit user action, so pages can no longer launch the default mail client unprompted.
PDFs smaller than the paper size can now be enlarged to fill the sheet when printing, by setting the scale above 100%.Enterprise
You can find information about policy updates and enterprise-specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 155 Release Notes.
Developer
Developer Information
The Rules View now offers toggles to emulate the prefers-reduced-motion media feature. Emulation options have also moved into a new panel behind the at-rules (@) button.
The Debugger in Developer Tools now has a keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+Alt+B (Cmd+Alt+B on macOS), to enable or disable all breakpoints at once.
The JSON Viewer now displays JSON Lines (JSONL/NDJSON) documents, including inline errors for invalid lines.
Fixed the Storage panel showing cookies from private windows, containers, and other partitions alongside the inspected page's own cookies.
Uncaught non-Error exceptions now list their property names in the Console instead of showing only Object.Web Platform
The CSS attr() function now supports values of any type, so authors can use attribute values in any property rather than only as strings in the content property.
Firefox now supports the progress() CSS function.
Firefox now supports the alpha() CSS function. This is a relative color function that can be used to modify just the alpha component of a given color.
Firefox now supports the Promise.allKeyed and Promise.allSettledKeyed methods from the await dictionary proposal, which take an object of promises and resolve to an object of results with the same keys.
Firefox now supports the WebAssembly Compact Import Section proposal, which can reduce the size of WebAssembly modules with many imports.
Firefox now supports the WebAssembly Wide Arithmetic proposal, which adds 128-bit arithmetic instructions for better performance in cryptography and arbitrary-precision math.
Firefox now supports QUIC version 2 (RFC 9369) for HTTP/3 connections, and uses it when the server selects it through compatible version negotiation (RFC 9368).
Support for the non-standard ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-element, added in Firefox 153, is now limited to a small list of sites rather than applying universally.
SVG elements now expose the same URL properties as HTML links, including protocol, host, pathname, and search.
SVGGraphicsElement.getBBox() now honors its options argument, so bounding boxes can include stroke, markers, and clipping.
The font-width property is now supported as the standard name for font-stretch.
A dynamic import() that fails due to a network or HTTP error is no longer cached as a failure in the module map, so retrying the same specifier can now succeed.
WebTransport now supports send groups (createSendGroup()) for controlling how bandwidth is shared between streams, writable datagram streams (createWritable()), and exportKeyingMaterial() for deriving keys bound to the TLS session. It also adds a draining promise and subprotocol negotiation through the constructor's protocols option and the protocol property.
Firefox now supports RTCError for data channel failures, RTCSctpTransport.maxChannels, two-byte RTP header extension IDs, and more accurate RTCTransportStats, improving WebRTC interoperability.Unresolved
For users with vertical tabs enabled, the sidebar may not persist across Firefox restarts. Vertical tabs can be re-enabled after the restart by clicking the sidebar toolbar button. A fix is currently in development. (Bug 2065431)
Some sites may load slowly or fail to load on networks that block UDP. This can affect e.g. corporate networks where a proxy or firewall blocks QUIC as part of TLS inspection. To work around it, set network.http.happy_eyeballs_enabled to false with the Preferences policy. A fix is planned for the 155.0.1 release shipping no later than 8-September.

Version 152.0.4191.53: August 27, 2026 (Stable)
Microsoft Edge releases broader privacy and admin updates, including default unload event deprecation, automatic blocking of scam notification sources, Apple account sign-in, enhanced credential details in the address bar, and new Copilot and WebView2 policy controls, while retiring Drop and real-time video translation.
Release Summary
Announcements
- Deprecating the unload event. Microsoft Edge is changing the default behavior of the web platform unload event. As the rollout progresses, pages will no longer run unload event handlers unless the site explicitly permits them.
- In Edge 152 and 153, unload handlers will stop firing by default for 60% of page loads unless the site explicitly enables them through Permissions Policy.
- In Edge 154, the rollout will increase to 80% of page loads.
- In Edge 155, the rollout will reach 100% of page loads.
The unload event is not a dependable way to save data, perform cleanup, or report the end of a session. Browsers and operating systems can suspend or terminate pages without firing it, and this can prevent pages from using the back/forward cache, which may make back and forward navigation slower.
Web developers should migrate to lifecycle events and APIs designed for these scenarios. The long-term direction of the web platform is to remove support for unload.
- Microsoft Edge has completed the move to a 2-week cadence for updates. We have adopted a new, 2-week release cycle for major versions. For more information, see Faster updates, enterprise-friendly schedule: the new Microsoft Edge release cycle - Microsoft Edge Blog.
Feature Updates
- Automatically unsubscribe users from notifications sent by scam and malicious sites. Microsoft Edge now helps further protect users from malicious web notifications. When a notification leads users to a site that Microsoft Defender SmartScreen blocks as a scam, phishing, or malware page, Edge automatically stops that source from sending users further notifications. Edge lets users know when this happens. Users can review and restore any of these sites anytime under edge://settings/privacy/sitePermissions/allPermissions/notifications.
Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout.
- Sign in to Edge with an Apple account. Users can now sign in to Microsoft Edge using an Apple account in addition to the Microsoft account from the profile menu and Edge sign-in screen. Available for Windows and macOS devices. Admins can control availability to this feature using the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout.
Real-time video translation retirement. Real-time video translation is being retired through a gradual rollout. Availability may vary across environments during the rollout. The LiveVideoTranslationEnabled policy will be deprecated in a future update.
Enhanced Key Icon with Credential Details, Copy Actions, and Notes. The key icon in Edge's address bar now lets users click into any saved credential to view a detailed panel. From there, users can copy a username, reveal and copy a password, and add personal notes to each login. Keep track of security questions, account purpose, or recovery details right alongside credentials, without opening Settings or the full password manager.
Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout.
Drop is retired. We're simplifying Microsoft Edge. Drop is retired in Microsoft Edge version 152.
New Copilot Cowork policy. Copilot Cowork may perform tasks such as creating tabs, taking screenshots, and interacting with web pages. Admins can now control availability of this feature using the CopilotCoworkToolActionsEnabled policy, which corresponds to the Allow Cowork to take actions on your behalf setting in edge://settings/ai. This policy applies only when Cowork Browsing is enabled at the tenant level in the M365 admin center.
Clarification of WebView2 DowngradeVersion policy. The DowngradeVersion policy allows admins to temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2). The policy requires an exact 4-part numeric WebView2 Runtime version, for example 151.0.2178.0. Admins can find the exact 4-part version number in the Microsoft Edge release notes for Stable Channel. Major-version-only values are not supported. If no exact matching folder is found, the policy has no effect and the runtime defaults to the BrowserExecutableFolder policy or the Evergreen runtime, which is the default auto-updating runtime.
Update for LocalNetworkAccessRestrictionsTemporaryOptOut policy. The planned removal of the LocalNetworkAccessRestrictionsTemporaryOptOut policy has been updated. The policy is now scheduled for removal after Microsoft Edge version 156; previously it was version 152.
Updated Copilot policy. Admins can now control availability of the video transcription feature using the EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext policy, which corresponds to the Allow Copilot to transcribe your video setting in edge://settings/ai.

New Alpha Release: Tor Browser 16.0a10
Tor releases Browser 16.0a10 with important Firefox security updates, a redesigned Settings experience, an updated built-in manual, and an opt-in generic window titles privacy feature. It also continues refining Android and desktop behavior for the Alpha channel.
Tor Browser 16.0a10 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.
This version includes important security updates to Firefox.
⚠️ Reminder: The Tor Browser Alpha release-channel is for testing only. As such, Tor Browser Alpha is not intended for general use because it is more likely to include bugs affecting usability, security, and privacy.
Moreover, Tor Browser Alphas are now based on Firefox's betas. Please read more about this important change in the Future of Tor Browser Alpha blog post.
If you are an at-risk user, require strong anonymity, or just want a reliably-working browser, please stick with the stable release channel.
✨ New Features which need attention!
📖 Updated Built-in manual on Desktop Tor Browser
The Tor Project's old support page and content has been updated. Starting with Tor Browser 16.0a10, this updated design and content is now baked into the browser and replaces the legacy manual. You can access the manual directly by navigating to about:manual in the URL bar or by clicking on the various "Learn more" links found in the browser's UI.
⚙️ Settings Redesign now enabled by default
With Tor Browser 16.0a10, we have enabled the new about:preferences designs from Mozilla by default. Our additional settings (connectivity, letterboxing, security level, etc) should now all be migrated over and using the new design language. Please file an issue if you find any regressions!
🪟 Generic Window Titles
On most (all?) desktop operating systems, applications have the ability to programmatically set and update the title of their windows. Normally, this is very useful as it allows the names of your applications to appear in the desktop UI in the title bar or as entries in application switchers (e.g. when you alt-tab between applications).
Historically, web browsers have dynamically updated their application's window title to the contents of the current web page's
<title>element. For example, the window name for the browser window you are currently using is very likely some variant of New Alpha Release: Tor Browser 16.0a10 | The Tor Project — Tor Browser. If you were to navigate away from this page (please don't), the title would be updated to some variant of that page's<title>element contents.While this process provides convenient usability to end-users, these title changes are generally detectable and readable by 3rd party applications or the operating system itself. This is typically not a privileged action, meaning software does not typically require special permissions to do this. These same APIs which allow programs to enumerate open windows also allow them to record browsing history using window title changes as a side-channel.
To counteract this, we've developed (and upstreamed) an opt-in feature disabling these window title changes and instead replacing them with just the the name of the browser. You can try this feature out by going to about:preferences, clicking on Privacy and security in the navigation panel, clicking on Advanced settings within the Connection and software security group, and checking Use generic window titles in the Protections from third-party applications group. With this setting enabled, all Tor Browser window titles should now simply read Tor Browser Alpha.
For any vanilla Firefox users out there, you can enable this feature by going to about:config and setting the privacy.exposeContentTitleInWindow (for normal-browsing windows) and privacy.exposeContentTitleInWindow.pbm (for private-browsing windows) boolean options to false.
We had hoped to enable this feature by default in the 16.0 series, but it is a bit late in the release cycle to push out such a feature with potentially unseen side-effects (e.g. causing breakage with a11y software, specific desktop environments, or other custom configurations) without user testing. Please give this feature a go (especially if your desktop environment is non-standard) and report back any issues or incompatibilities you find.
