    Firefox by Mozilla

    154.0 Firefox Release

    Firefox 154 adds stronger Local Network Access protection for WebSocket connections, smarter tab grouping, Windows support for NVIDIA GeForce NOW, expanded local profile backups on macOS, faster video seeking, richer PDF and translation features, and new developer and CSS capabilities.

    Version 154.0, first offered to Release channel users on August 18, 2026

    New

    Firefox's Local Network Access protections now extend to WebSocket connections. Websites that try to open a WebSocket to a device on the local network will now ask for permission first.

    In Smart Window, Firefox can now suggest groups of related tabs and propose a name for each group.

    This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

    Firefox on Windows is now a supported browser for NVIDIA GeForce NOW, letting users stream supported PC games directly in the browser.

    Local Firefox profile backups are now available on macOS in addition to Windows and Linux, and backups can be restored across all three platforms.

    Sites can now be exempted from having their cookies and site data cleared on shutdown without also being exempted from tracking protection and other cookie restrictions.

    The full-page Translations feature now translates <iframe> content.

    The full-page Translations feature now runs language identification on all page loads, resulting in an improved experience for offering translations to users.

    Windows users can now choose a different Firefox app icon in Settings. This is not yet available for MSIX installations, macOS, or Linux, but is coming soon.

    The address bar now includes a Manage AI quick action that opens the AI controls in Settings.

    Performing a hard reload on a page (holding Shift while clicking the Refresh button) now also clears and updates its cached favicons.

    Fixed

    Fixed an issue on macOS where closing a browser window could leave behind an invisible window that continued to capture mouse clicks over the area where it used to be.

    Fixed an issue on Windows where an auto-hiding taskbar would not appear until the Firefox window had been minimized and restored after launch.

    Fixed an issue where the Windows taskbar would appear in front of a full screen Picture-in-Picture window.

    Fixed the Vertical Tabs sidebar staying visible in full screen mode. It now hides along with the toolbars and reappears when the cursor moves to the edge of the screen.

    Fixed PDF documents not being scaled correctly in print preview when the Fit to Page Width option is used.

    Various security fixes.

    Changed

    Video seeking is now significantly faster on all operating systems, making it quicker to jump to a point in a video.

    Text selected in a PDF is now highlighted the same way as text on a web page, and the highlight color follows operating system settings such as high-contrast mode.

    Firefox View is moving out of the toolbar by default for new profiles and for profiles where it hasn't been used recently. It can still be opened from List all tabs > View all tabs, or added back from the Customize toolbar menu.

    Enterprise

    You can find information about policy updates and enterprise-specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 154 Release Notes.

    Developer

    The JSON Viewer now shows a breadcrumb path at the bottom for the selected entry.

    Web Platform

    Firefox now supports the text-box-trim and text-box-edge CSS properties, and the associated text-box shorthand. These properties control the leading space above and below text, enabling simpler and more consistent vertical spacing and alignment.

    Firefox now supports the sibling-index() and sibling-count() CSS functions. These functions allow an element to be styled with calculations that use its index among its siblings and its total count of siblings (including itself), respectively.

    Added a time picker user interface to <input type="time"> and <input type="datetime-local">, making selecting a time more accessible and intuitive.

    Added support for the No-Vary-Search HTTP response header for the HTTP disk cache. Servers can now declare which URL query parameters are irrelevant to the response, allowing Firefox to reuse cached resources across parameter variations and improving cache hit rates.

    Firefox now supports new Iterator.prototype.chunks and Iterator.prototype.windows methods that allow consuming an iterator as either overlapping or non-overlapping subsequences of configurable size.

    Firefox now supports Iterator.prototype.includes(), allowing developers to check whether an iterator contains a given value without first converting it to an array.

    Firefox now supports the Iterator.prototype.join method, which allows joining an iterator into a string, similar to Array.prototype.join.

    153.0.1 Firefox Release

    Firefox fixes startup crashes on Windows after updates, audio playback issues on some streaming sites, New Tab wallpaper flashing, and several page load and editing crashes. It also improves pointer lock and resolves Inspector and View Page Source bugs.

    Version 153.0.1, first offered to Release channel users on July 28, 2026

    Fixed

    • Addressed a startup crash on Windows that could occur after updating Firefox, when some of the application's internal files could not be loaded. Firefox should now start in these cases, although parts of the interface may not display correctly until a further update completes (Bug 2056926).
    • Fixed audio playing silently on some music and audio streaming sites after pausing and resuming playback (Bug 2053586).
    • Fixed the New Tab page background flashing a few seconds after the page loaded when a custom wallpaper was in use (Bug 2056650).
    • Fixed a crash that could occur when a page loaded a frame using a javascript: address (Bug 2054485).
    • Fixed a crash that could occur while typing text in an editable area of a page (Bug 2053867).
    • Fixed a search engine you had already installed yourself being labeled as "New" when Firefox later started offering the same engine (Bug 2053710).
    • Improved pointer lock, used by games and other immersive web content, so that the mouse pointer is less likely to escape the Firefox window (Bug 1255338, Bug 2040628).
    • Fixed an issue in the Inspector's Rules view where pseudo-elements could only be expanded once per selected element (Bug 2054525).
    • Fixed View Page Source failing to load blob: documents (Bug 2054428).
    • Fixed View Page Source timing out on documents that inherit their origin, such as frames using the srcdoc attribute (Bug 2054487).

    Reference link to 153.0 release notes.

    Unresolved

    • Some Windows users may experience a crash on startup after updating, caused by an incomplete update leaving the Firefox installation in an inconsistent state (Bug 1681745). If you are affected, downloading Firefox from firefox.com and installing it over your existing installation will repair it. Your bookmarks, passwords and other data are stored separately and will not be affected.

    Firefox by Mozilla

    153.0 Firefox Release

    Firefox releases version 153 with HDR video playback on Windows, new PDF editing and QR code sharing tools, stronger privacy and permission controls, and expanded support for JPEG XL and web platform features. It also brings developer updates, security fixes, and progressive rollouts for Smart Window and HTTP Compression Dictionaries.

    Version 153.0, first offered to Release channel users on July 21, 2026

    New

    High Dynamic Range (HDR) video playback is now available on Windows - this feature needs HDR mode enabled for the display in Windows Settings - Display. Laptop displays that only offer "HDR video streaming" are not supported at this time. Some videos recorded on phones in certain orientations are currently not shown as HDR.

    Containers let you keep separate parts of your online life (work, shopping, personal, banking) logged into different accounts in the same browser window, but keep your cookies and ad tracking isolated inside each container.

    Share any open page with a QR code. Right-click a tab, select Share > Generate QR Code. Great for posters, invitations, banners, and other printed materials.

    It is now possible to merge multiple PDFs by dragging a PDF into the PDF sidebar.

    It is now possible to add images as new pages within PDFs using the Firefox PDF editor.

    Quickly pick and copy a color from any page by typing "pick color", "color picker", or "eyedropper" in the address bar and selecting the "Pick a color" quick action.

    Added support for Apple's system-wide full-screen keyboard command (Globe-F).

    Firefox now verifies and displays Qualified Website Authentication Certificates (QWACs) in accordance with eIDAS regulations.

    Added improved support for videos with overlays so users can more easily access video actions from context menus.

    Firefox now highlights the location permission icon in red whenever a website has access to your location. The permission icon is also now visible on search results pages where it was previously hidden.

    Smart Window:

    • See and choose AI models directly from the Smart Window assistant.
    • New Tab now includes a familiar address bar for typing websites and searching the web.

    This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

    Firefox Labs

    Firefox Labs can now be opened quickly by typing "labs" or "experiment" in the address bar and selecting the Open Firefox Labs quick action.

    Firefox now offers experimental support for the new JPEG XL image format, which generally provides better compression than WebP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF and is designed to supersede them. You can enable it from the Firefox Labs panel in Settings.

    Fixed

    Various security fixes.

    Changed

    Extensions can no longer access local files by default. Users can grant or revoke this access via the new "Access local files on your computer" permission, separate from "Access your data for all websites".

    Local Network Access restrictions are now enabled by default for all users. Firefox requires websites to request permission before connecting to devices on your local network or to apps and services on your device.

    Outdated cookie settings have been removed from the Settings UI. Users still in that mode should switch to default behavior "Isolate cross-site cookies". More information

    Enterprise

    You can find information about policy updates and enterprise-specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 153 Release Notes.

    Developer

    Developer Information

    A new "Local Mode" setting in the options panel allows developers to load local directories via custom origins. This simplifies testing for APIs that do not function over standard file:// URLs, removing the need to run a local web server. Multiple directory mappings are supported.

    Web Platform

    Firefox now supports a limited subset of the non-standard ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-element to improve web compatibility:

    • Rules with non-zero width / height disable overlay scrollbars for the affected container.
    • display: none on ::-webkit-scrollbar behaves like scrollbar-width: none, hiding the scrollbar.
    • @supports selector(::-webkit-scrollbar) now evaluates to true.
    • Full styling capabilities (colors, border-radius, etc.) are intentionally not supported.

    The vertical-align property was converted into a shorthand for baseline-source, alignment-baseline, and baseline-shift in Firefox 149. Now, alignment-baseline supports the new keywords alphabetic, ideographic, central, mathematical, and hanging, extending the variety of baselines to choose for alignment.

    Implemented the new popover=hint spec, which removes a series of inconsistent and unexpected behaviors.

    The circle() and ellipse() functions accept two new keywords closest-corner and farthest-corner for their radial size.

    The newly added Error.stackTraceLimit property allows to set the maximal depth of the captured JavaScript error stack as a performance optimization.

    Developers can now use the text import attribute to import text files using the module system.

    The Picture In Picture API exposes a way for web developers to make use of user agent Picture-In-Picture functionality.

    The Intl.LocaleInfo proposal adds the ability to query Locale information, such as week data (first day in a week, weekend start day, weekend end day), text direction and hour cycle used in the Locale.

    The MediaCapabilities.decodingInfo() and MediaCapabilities.encodingInfo() methods now accept the "webrtc" configuration type. This allows a site to query whether a given audio or video configuration can be decoded or encoded for WebRTC and whether doing so will be smooth and/or powerEfficient.

    HTTP Compression Dictionaries is enabled via rollout in 153, it will be made permanent in a future release. This can greatly reduce network traffic size for sites that use it.

    This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
