Version 149.0, first offered to Release channel users on March 24, 2026

New

View two pages side-by-side in a single window with the new Split View feature that makes it easier to compare information, research topics or work across two pages at once. To create a split view, select one or two tabs and choose Add to Split View or Open in Split View.

Firefox now offers a free built-in VPN. Whether you’re using public Wi-Fi while traveling, searching for sensitive health information, or shopping for something personal, this feature gives you a simple way to stay protected. Once you sign in and turn it on, you can hide your location and IP address by routing it through a secure proxy while you browse in Firefox. You will get 50 GB of protection every month, with the option to turn it on or off for specific websites. This feature is progressively rolling out in the US, UK, Germany and France starting today.

This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

Many PDF files will now load significantly faster thanks to hardware acceleration.

Firefox now automatically blocks notifications and permanently revokes permissions for any website flagged as malicious by SafeBrowsing. This prevents unsafe sites from sending background notifications to users, commonly used for ads, spam or phishing.

You can now add a Share button to your toolbar via Customize Toolbar, making it easy to share the current tab using your Windows or macOS system sharing options.

Address Autofill is enabled for users in Australia, India, Italy, Poland and Austria.

Explore more of the web with new on-device translation support for Bosnian, Norwegian Bokmål, Serbian and Thai — plus improved accuracy for Croatian.

Firefox Labs

Tab notes feature that lets you attach a short note to a web page is now available in Firefox Labs. You can use notes to remember why you opened a page, what you planned to do next or any details you want to revisit later. Please give notes a try and share your feedback on what works well and what can be improved.

Fixed

Increased robustness of HTTP/3 upload performance for unstable network conditions.

Various security fixes.

Changed

The TrustPanel combines the privacy and security panels accessed from the address bar to give the user one place to check the Privacy and Security settings of the current page. Learn more.

Security has been strengthened by tightening the requirements for JavaScript files that can be loaded in the parent process, providing additional defense in depth against potential threats.

On Linux, Firefox will now default to the XDG portal file picker if available, rather than the GTK3 one, which is usually better integrated with the user's desktop environment, and more powerful.

Firefox error pages have a fresh new look, with updated visuals that better match the overall feel of Firefox. The redesigned pages create a more cohesive experience while making it clearer what went wrong.

On Windows, Firefox will use the modern Windows.Devices.Geolocation API for geolocation instead of Windows 7 location API.

Developer

The toolbar of the Storage Inspector now has a button to delete all entries of the currently selected storage.

Besides each CSS declaration related to a computed value shown in the Computed view there's now an icon to jump to it in the Rules view.

Web Platform

showPicker() now supports text-based elements with an associated , displaying the autofill dropdown. See documentation.

The functions xywh() and rect() were previously implemented for the clip-path and offset-path properties. They are now also available for the shape-outside property.

The math value of the CSS font-family is now supported and used by default for MathML's element. It enables Web developers to indicate special fonts with advanced math features should be used. Firefox will rely on the serif font for mathematics defined in Firefox preferences.

Added support for the HTML attribute popover="hint".

Enabled media element pseudo-classes, such as :playing, :paused …

Enabled the spec-compliant HTMLMediaElement.captureStream() API.

Added support for closing popovers & dialogs with the Android Back Button, and implemented the CloseWatcher API for handling this in script.

The new Reporting API provides a generic reporting mechanism for web applications to use to make reports available based on various platform features (for example Content Security Policy, Permissions-Policy or feature deprecation reports) in a consistent manner.

Version 148.0, first offered to Release channel users on February 24, 2026

New

• Added an AI Controls section to Settings for managing AI-enhanced features. Learn more.
• Firefox now has improved support for screen readers accessing mathematical formulas embedded in PDFs.
• Remote improvements are now decoupled from telemetry requirements in Firefox Settings. You can now opt into receiving remote browser changes even if you have opted out of sharing telemetry or participating in our experimental studies.
• Firefox Backup is now available on Windows 10 to users who also use the “Clear history when Firefox closes” capability. Backups will not include any data which is set to be cleared when Firefox is closed.
• The following languages are now available for translation:
  • Translation into and from Traditional Chinese.
  • Translation into Vietnamese.
• New Tab wallpapers will now appear on new container tabs as well as new default tabs.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where a language pack could become disabled after a major update, causing Firefox to display in the wrong language.
• On Windows, dragging a downloaded image to Adobe Illustrator now correctly inserts the image instead of its URL.
• Various security fixes.

Developer

• Developer Information

Web Platform

• The initial about:blank document is now Web-compatible. If the first navigation of a browsing context goes to about:blank, it completes synchronously and is no longer replaced by a second parser-generated document.
• Service worker support for WebGPU has been added, making it available in all worker contexts. Service workers allow WebGPU to run in the background, which is particularly useful for extensions and other pages that can meaningfully share resources across multiple tabs and time periods.
• Firefox now supports the Iterator.zip() and Iterator.zipKeyed() methods from the joint iteration proposal. This allows zipping together underlying iterators into an iterator over values grouped by position, similar to zip in many other languages.
• Firefox now supports the Trusted Types API, which is primarily aimed at preventing cross-site scripting attacks.
• Firefox now supports the Sanitizer API, which provides new methods for HTML manipulation. The element.setHTML() method enables developers to insert HTML content similarly to element.innerHTML, but without the security vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS). A complementary method, document.parseHTML(), is also available for parsing HTML safely.
• Firefox now supports the location.ancestorOrigins attribute.
• Firefox now supports the NavigationPrecommitController.addHandler() interface of the Navigation API. This allows registering a post-commit navigation handler during the pre-commit phase, to allow a multi-step navigation process.
• Firefox now supports the position-try-order property as part of CSS Anchor Positioning, controlling the order of fallback positioning attempts.
• Firefox now supports the CSS shape() function, which allows defining responsive free-form shapes in properties that take shapes like clip-path. Unlike path(), it uses standard CSS syntax, supports various CSS units, and allows mathematical functions.

147.0 Firefox Release

January 13, 2026

Version 147.0, first offered to Release channel users on January 13, 2026

New

• WebGPU support is now enabled for devices with Apple Silicon processors on all supported macOS versions.
• Improved video playback performance on systems with AMD GPUs by enabling zero-copy playback for hardware-decoded video where supported, bringing them to parity with Intel and NVIDIA GPUs.
• Firefox now supports the Safe Browsing V5 protocol and is migrating from Safe Browsing V4 to the local list mode of Safe Browsing V5 protocol.
• Users with Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) set to Strict will have local network access restrictions enabled by default. Firefox will now require users to explicitly allow public websites to access local network resources.
  This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
• Firefox now supports the Freedesktop.org XDG Base Directory Specification.
• A Picture-in-Picture player window can now optionally be opened automatically for a video playing in a tab when that tab goes into the background. A special thanks to volunteer Daniele Ferla for contributing this feature!

Fixed

• Fixed an issue that prevented some Windows users from selecting a tab when the cursor was at the top of the screen and the Firefox window was maximized.
• Fixed a bug that made HTTP/3 requests containing non-UTF-8 header values time out or fall back to HTTP/2 after a while.
• A draggable button can now be dragged if initiated from the button itself.
• For Linux GNOME Mutter users, window and rendering surface sizes were updated to match the actual pixel grid so Firefox delivers sharp rendering on fractionally scaled displays regardless of the actual window size.
• Various security fixes.

Changed

• Firefox now uses the same quality values (q-values) in Accept-Language headers as other major browsers. The second language preference is now sent as q=0.9 instead of q=0.5, with subsequent language preferences decreasing by 0.1 each (minimum 0.1). This change fixes compatibility issues with some servers that incorrectly rejected requests with lower quality values.

Enterprise

• You can find information about policy updates and enterprise-specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 147 Release Notes.

Developer

• Developer Information
• View Transitions: View transition pseudo-elements now appear in the elements panel and the associated animations appear in the animations panel.
• Anchor positioning: Elements with a valid anchor-name are given an 'anchor' badge in the elements view, and @position-try CSS rules are now displayed in the CSS rules panel when an element using position-try-fallbacks is selected.
• The JSON viewer now has a button to import the resource into Firefox Profiler to get a breakdown of its size.
• Pseudo-element selectors can now be added/edited in the CSS rules panel.

Web Platform

• Added support for the Navigation API. This API provides the ability to initiate, intercept, and manage browser navigation actions. It is a successor to previous web platform features such as the History API and window.location, which solves their shortcomings.
• The Unicode ICU library was updated to release 78, bringing support for Unicode 17 and new locales.
• ES modules in service workers are now supported, aligning Firefox with other major browsers and improving compatibility for modern web apps.
• Support for CSS Module Scripts was added, allowing stylesheets to be imported using the JavaScript module system and import attributes.
• The CSS counter-* and quotes properties are now supported in the ::marker pseudo-element.
• Both CompressionStream and DecompressionStream now support the Brotli format.
• Firefox now supports the :active-view-transition-type selector and associated View Transitions API changes.
• Firefox now exposes the view transition currently active on the document via the Document.activeViewTransition property.
• Support for CSS anchor positioning was added, enabling tethering elements. The anchor-positioned elements can then have their size and position set relative to the anchor elements to which they are bound.
• Firefox now supports Storage-Access-Headers, allowing servers to opt into unpartitioned cookies via HTTP headers if storage-access was granted prior to the Storage Access API.
• Implemented CSS root-font-relative units rcap, rch, rex, and ric.

Version 146.0, first offered to Release channel users on December 9, 2025

New

Windows 10 users can now automatically protect their passwords, bookmarks, and more by turning on backup in Firefox. Your browsing data is saved daily on your device and can be encrypted with a password. When you set up a fresh install of Firefox on any operating system for a new device or your current one, you can restore from this backup and pick up right where you left off. This feature is currently available on Windows devices and will be coming to other operating systems soon.

This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

MacOS users now have a dedicated GPU process by default. This includes WebGPU, WebGL, and Firefox's own WebRender. With this feature enabled, fatal errors in graphics code will no longer crash the browser, and will instead transparently restart the GPU process.

Firefox Labs is now available to all desktop users, regardless of whether they choose to participate in studies or submit telemetry. This means more experimental features are now available to more people.

Users can now skip the results page and see direct results as they type in the search bar for faster, simpler browsing.

This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

There is a New Tab Weather opt-in workflow available for users in the EU and some other countries, where they can choose whether to enable location detection or manually search for a location.

This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

Firefox now natively supports fractional scaled displays on Linux (Wayland), making rendering more effective.

For users of the English-language versions of Firefox in France, Germany, and Italy, the address bar now shows English-language suggestions for holidays and other important dates.

Fixed

When the timepicker is enabled for and , it now provides full keyboard and assistive technology support. This update also improves the behavior of the time spin buttons for users who prefer reduced motion. The Firefox Accessibility team hopes that making the built-in timepicker accessible will encourage wider adoption of browser-provided time and date inputs across the web, reducing the need for custom controls, and improving accessibility for all users.

Various security fixes.

Changed

The Colors dialog in Settings now uses clearer color picker controls that keep each color sample next to its label. It makes it easier to understand and adjust text, background, and link colors when using a forced colors palette to customize the default text, link, and page background colors, especially with or without screen magnifiers.

Firefox removed support for Direct2D on Windows. If you still require Direct2D support, please use ESR 140.0 or higher.

Enterprise

You can find information about policy updates and enterprise specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 146 Release Notes.

Developer

Firefox now supports ML-KEM for WebRTC, by sending a post-quantum (PQ) key share during the DTLS 1.3 handshake. ML-KEM is the next-generation public-key cryptosystem that is believed to be secure against attackers with large quantum computers.

Firefox now supports compressed elliptic curve points in WebCrypto. These reduce the size of public keys by nearly half, saving bandwidth and storage, while still allowing the full point to be reconstructed mathematically.

The Skia graphics library has been updated to improve rendering performance and compatibility.

Unused CSS custom properties are now hidden by default in the Rule view of the Inspector. This not only reduces clutter, but in some cases also speeds up the rendering of the inspector panel.

Web Platform

The @scope rule is now supported, allowing authors to restrict styling to a subtree of the DOM. This avoids having to write overly-specific selectors.

Firefox now supports the contrast-color() CSS function that takes a color value and returns a contrasting color. Note that the specification currently restricts the contrasting color to black or white. This limitation is expected to be removed in the future. (Learn more)

Introduced the text-decoration-inset property, which allows authors to adjust the start and end points of line decorations.

Firefox now supports the legacy -webkit-fill-available keyword as a value for the CSS width and height properties. This improves rendering of content on websites that use this value. This keyword is an alias for the recently standardized stretch keyword, which is not yet enabled in Firefox.

Unresolved

On Windows, clicking tabs may not work at the very top of the screen when Firefox is maximized on a second monitor. We’re working to fix this in a future release. (Fixed in 147.0)
