Firefox Release Notes

We’ve made significant improvements in noise-suppression and auto-gain-control as well as slight improvements in echo-cancellation to provide you with a better overall experience.

We’ve also significantly reduced main-thread load.

When printing, you can now choose to print only the odd/even pages.

On macOS, command-clicking links in Gmail now opens them in a new tab as expected.

Our newest release fixes an issue where video intermittently drops SSRC.

It also fixes an issue where WebRTC downgrades screen sharing resolution to provide you with a clearer browsing experience.

Plus, we’ve fixed video quality degradation issues on certain sites.

Detached video in fullscreen on macOS has been temporarily disabled to avoid some issues with corruption, brightness changes, missing subtitles and high cpu usage.

Various security fixes

Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the latest version of Firefox. You can find more information in the Firefox for Enterprise 96 Release Notes.

Firefox for Linux changes the shortcut key for "Select All" from Alt-A to Ctrl-A for solving web-compatibility and avoiding conflict with access keys. If you want to keep using Emacs like key bindings, e.g., you configured your GTK settings to use Ctrl-A as a shortcut key for moving caret to beginning of a line, you must change ui.key.textcontrol.prefer_native_key_bindings_over_builtin_shortcut_key_definitions and ui.key.use_select_all_in_single_line_editor from about:config. Currently, these are disabled by default but will be enabled by default in a future release.

The Web Locks API landed. This allows scripts running in different service workers or tabs to coordinate with each other.

WebRTC library updated, bringing improved audio and video features for web conferencing applications.

Added CSS color-scheme support to allow web pages to indicate which color schemes they can be rendered with (for example, operating system dark mode).
