New

  • Starting with Firefox 122, the URL Paste Suggestion feature is now enabled by default in Nightly builds. This enhancement provides a convenient way for users to quickly visit URLs copied to the clipboard in the address bar of desktop Firefox. When the clipboard contains a URL, and the user focuses on the URL bar, an autocomplete result appears automatically. Activating the clipboard suggestion will navigate the user to the URL with 1 click.

  • Firefox on Mac now uses the macOS fullscreen API for all types of fullscreen windows. This should better match the expected macOS user experience for fullscreen spaces, menubar and the Dock.
