Version 151.0, first offered to Release channel users on May 19, 2026

New

Firefox Home (New Tab) has a fresh, new look and feel. The layout and design will enable upcoming features, from widgets to shortcuts improvements, launching between 151 and 152. Included are some new and exciting Wallpapers, such as the one below. Use the pencil icon in the lower right to check them out.

Private Browsing Mode now allows you to instantly clear all data from your current session without closing the entire window. When you select the End Private Session button (the fire icon) to the right of the URL bar, Firefox will ask you to confirm to clear your session. Once confirmed, it will wipe all of your private browsing data and open a fresh new Private Browsing Mode session for you.

Firefox now strengthens protection against fingerprinting in Standard Enhanced Tracking Protection, making it harder for websites to track you across sites by limiting the amount of information revealed about your device and browser. This reduces the number of users uniquely identifiable by common fingerprinting techniques by an average of ~14%, and by ~49% on macOS.

You can now merge multiple PDFs directly in the Firefox PDF viewer.

The Translations page (about:translations) is now accessible through the More Tools section of the Application Menu.

Local Firefox profile backups are now available on Linux in addition to Windows, and you can restore them across platforms.

On macOS, URLs copied from iOS devices using Apple’s Universal Clipboard now paste correctly in Firefox.

On macOS, dropdown menus on web pages now use the native macOS menu style, matching the look and behavior of the rest of the system.

Address Autofill is enabled for users in the Netherlands.

Firefox’s built-in VPN now lets you choose your browsing location, giving you more control over how and where your traffic appears online. You can select from available countries or use Recommended to automatically choose the best connection for your network.
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

Fixed

Fixed incorrect screen resolution reporting to websites in multi-monitor setups.

Fixed an issue on macOS where maximized Firefox windows could reopen on the wrong monitor after relaunching in multi-monitor setups.

Improved color management for copied and pasted images on macOS.

Various security fixes.

Changed

The search bar in Firefox Settings (about:preferences) is now larger and spans the full width of the settings content area, making it easier to find options.

Extensions and Themes installed in a Firefox Desktop profile directory will be restored successfully after the profile directory is moved or restored to a different location or a different operating system.

Geolocation on Windows now respects the user's Windows location permission setting, instead of overriding it, when the user grants location permission to a page. Firefox will ask users to enable the Windows permission if it is needed.

Enterprise

You can find information about policy updates and enterprise-specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 151 Release Notes.

Developer

Developer Information

Web Platform

You can now manage microcontrollers that support serial communications in Firefox via the Web Serial API. This lets you program microcontrollers and development boards, such as ESP devices, Raspberry Pi Picos, 3D printers, CNC machines, and other devices. Web Serial can be used in Extensions, but not from moz-extension contexts at this time.

Local network access restrictions are now rolling out to all users. Firefox requires websites to request permission before connecting to devices on your local network or to apps and services on your device. Previously, this protection was limited to users with Enhanced Tracking Protection set to Strict.
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

The new Fullscreen Keyboard Lock API adds an optional argument to requestFullscreen that allows websites to request that while fullscreen, pressing the Escape key will no longer exit fullscreen (instead, a long-press is required), and certain formerly-reserved browser hotkeys are allowed to be default-prevented.

Firefox improves the rendering of absolutely positioned elements across multi-column containers and when printing, producing more accurate positioning and fragmentation.

@container rules now allow specifying a list of container query conditions rather than a single condition.

Firefox now supports container style queries, allowing styles to be applied to an element based on the computed values of its container's custom properties. This can be done by using one or more style() functions inside @container rules.

A new CSSContainerRule.conditions property was introduced, holding an array of all container query conditions. This new property is intended to replace CSSContainerRule.containerName and CSSContainerRule.containerQuery, which only supported a single name and query, making them deprecated.

Updated the behavior of implicit anchors in CSS Anchor Positioning. The position-anchor property now defaults to normal. When using position-area, implicit anchors are applied automatically, while popovers using anchor() or anchor-center now require position-anchor: auto to opt in.

Firefox now supports the Document Picture-in-Picture API, which allows web pages to place content in an always-on-top popup.

Temporary site permissions are now correctly reflected in the Permissions API.

Firefox now supports the declarative definition of slot assignment behavior for shadow roots.

Version 150.0, first offered to Release channel users on April 21, 2026

New

Split View just got better: You can now right-click any link and choose Open Link in Split View to open it alongside your current tab. You can also search open tabs when creating a split view and quickly reverse tab positions using the new Reverse Tabs option in the tab context menu.

Share multiple tabs in a single step. Select several tabs, right-click, and choose Copy X Links (for Windows and Linux) or choose Share Copy X Links (for MacOS). When pasted into other apps that support rich text, links include both the page title and the URL for easy reading.

You can now use Firefox's built-in PDF editor to reorder, copy, paste, delete, and export pages in a PDF.

Try out real-time, private translations in Firefox Desktop with the about:translations page. Start typing the word "translate" into the URL bar for a quick-action shortcut to the page.

Added support for the GTK emoji picker on Linux, allowing users to insert emoji using the system shortcut (typically Ctrl + .).

Firefox web apps are now available to Windows users who installed Firefox through the Microsoft Store.

The new Firefox Profile management system is now available to all users, including users on Windows 10.

Backing up a profile to a file is now available to all Windows 10 and 11 users, including those who use the new profile management system.

Firefox now prompts you to enable location access in Windows settings when granting a website permission to use your location, if geolocation hasn't already been allowed. This behavior, previously limited to some Windows 11 versions, now applies to all supported Windows versions.

The built-in VPN is now available for users in Canada. Note: This feature is not available in enterprise environments.
Currently available in: Canada, France, Germany, United Kingdom, United States
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

Fixed

Fixed an issue on macOS where, when macOS Lockdown mode is enabled, emoji characters are not displayed in web content.

Various security fixes.

Changed

If you prefer creating tab groups from the context menu, you can now turn off drag-and-drop group creation in Settings > Tabs > Drag tabs to create tab groups.

Enterprise

You can find information about policy updates and enterprise-specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 150 Release Notes.

Developer

Developer Information

A new element-specific section has been added to the pseudo-class toggle panel including a toggle for the :open pseudo-class, which is only available for elements that have an open state like elements. The existing toggle for the :visited pseudo-class was also moved there, as it only applies to and elements. (Learn More)

The Document.caretPositionFromPoint() method now only returns a position in a shadow DOM if its ShadowRoot is passed in the newly-added shadowRoots option.

The devtools network monitor now indicates when a connection used a certificate issued by a certificate authority not in Mozilla's Root CA Program.

Web Platform

Firefox now supports the ariaNotify API for accessibility notifications (e.g. for screen readers) as a more ergonomic and reliable alternative to ARIA live regions.

Firefox now supports media element pseudo-classes (e.g., :playing, :paused) to allow more precise styling based on media playback state.

Added support for the highlightsFromPoint() API, which allows web pages to interact with CSS Highlights by returning all Highlights at a given point.

Firefox now supports light-dark() on images, just like on colors, which is very useful for supporting dark mode on websites.

The color-mix() function previously accepted only two color values. This limitation has now been removed, allowing the function to accept an arbitrary number of colors.

Added support for a new auto value on the sizes attribute for lazy-loaded image elements with multiple images defined via srcset. This allows the browser to automatically select the right image based on the layout width of the image element. (Learn More)

Unresolved

Users with Bitdefender security software installed may experience problems loading websites, particularly Facebook.com. We are working on a workaround, but as a temporary mitigation, disabling Bitdefender or turning off its traffic filtering features may resolve the issue.

Original source

Version 149.0.2, first offered to Release channel users on April 7, 2026

• Fixed an issue where certain parts of web pages, such as drop-down menus and specific styles, did not appear correctly when printing. (Bug 2026109)
• Fixed an issue where some website error pages displayed generic connection messages instead of the specific error code and description provided by the server. (Bug 2023800)

Reference link to 149.0 release notes.

Original source

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.

148.0.2

Firefox Release

March 10, 2026

Version 148.0.2, first offered to Release channel users on March 10, 2026

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where searches entered in the Firefox Home search field were incorrectly redirected to the address bar for some users who had disabled search handoff behavior via advanced settings. (Bug 2017049)

• Fixed an issue where some web-based rich text editors stopped applying formatting, such as bold or italic. (Bug 2020927)

• Fixed an issue where videos could autoplay unexpectedly on YouTube despite autoplay being blocked, particularly impacting screen reader users. (Bug 2020233)

• Fixed an issue that caused some absolutely positioned elements meant to be centered, for example, using margin: auto with inset: 0, to appear left-aligned on initial load. (Bug 2017440)

• Fixed an issue where the “Switch to Tab” suggestion in the address bar appeared blank for pages without a title. (Bug 2020341)

• Fixed an issue that could reduce video quality on Windows systems using NVIDIA GPUs with Video Super Resolution enabled. (Bug 2019515)

• Various security fixes.

Reference link to 148.0 release notes.

Original source

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.
