See what’s new in Firefox!

Firefox will now offer to temporarily remember when users grant permissions to sites (e.g. geolocation). Temporary permissions will be removed either after one hour or when the tab is closed.

A tab preview is now displayed when hovering the mouse over background tabs, making it easier to locate the desired tab without needing to switch tabs.

When suggesting a default translation language, Firefox will now take into consideration languages you have previously used for translations.

We’ve re-introduced the ability to navigate to the search engine home page when the search bar is empty by using shift-enter/shift-click.

Various security fixes.

The following language is now supported by Firefox translation:

• Swedish

The Tab overview (List all tabs) menu has received a new, refreshed icon.

You can find information about policy updates and enterprise specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 131 Release Notes.

As part of the ongoing updates to SVG 2, SVGGraphicsElement.nearestViewportElement and SVGGraphicsElement.farthestViewportElement have been officially removed. Please note that these properties have had deprecation warnings since February.

Firefox now supports text fragments, which allows users to link directly to a specific portion of text in a web document via a special URL fragment. (Learn more)
