See what’s new in Firefox!

Fixed the file upload dialog opening in the last folder a file was saved to, such as Downloads, instead of the folder last used for uploads.

Fixed memory usage growing rapidly when sites such as the Zoom web app were left open in a minimized window.

Fixed some videos displaying incorrectly on Windows when NVIDIA RTX Video HDR is enabled.

Fixed bookmarks not being imported from Google Chrome profiles that are signed in to a Google account.

Fixed the Replace button in Apple Writing Tools on macOS inserting the clipboard contents instead of the rewritten text on some sites, such as Gmail.

Fixed long drop-down lists on web pages sometimes showing blank space in place of the last options until the list was scrolled.

Fixed some sites, such as Slack, failing to load instead of falling back to HTTP/2 when the site rejected an HTTP/3 request.

Fixed Firefox using excessive memory on Linux with AMD graphics when viewing map or place results on sites such as ChatGPT.

Fixed quick gamepad button presses sometimes being missed in web games on macOS.

Fixed tabs sometimes detaching into a new window when clicked on Linux with Wayland.

Fixed menus and panels fading in on Windows and Linux when animation effects are turned off in the operating system.

Various security fixes.

On macOS, apps that sign in through the default browser, such as ChatGPT, now open their sign-in page in Firefox instead of Safari when Firefox is the default browser.

The AI chatbot's Summarize page option now sends the page's address to the chatbot provider instead of the page's text, so long pages are no longer cut short to a partial summary.

Open tabs can now be searched with a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+A on Windows and Linux, Cmd+Shift+A on macOS. The Extensions and Themes shortcut is now Ctrl+Shift+F on Windows and Linux, and Cmd+Shift+E on macOS. These shortcuts can be changed in about:keyboard.

Web addresses written in the Javanese, Balinese, Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, and N'Ko scripts are now displayed in their own script instead of as encoded "xn--" text.

For Firefox Enterprise updates and fixes, see the Firefox Enterprise release notes. For policy changes, see the Firefox admin docs changelog.

The Web Console now allows let, const, and class variables to be declared again, so a snippet can be edited and re-run without a redeclaration error.

Firefox now supports scroll-driven animations, so CSS animations and Web Animations API animations can progress with the scroll position of a container or with an element's visibility as it scrolls into view. This adds the animation-timeline, scroll-timeline, view-timeline, and animation-range properties and the ScrollTimeline and ViewTimeline interfaces.

Firefox now supports scoped custom element registries. A registry created with the CustomElementRegistry() constructor is separate from the global window.customElements registry, so custom elements that share a tag name can coexist on the same page.

On compatible devices, WebGL now supports the EXT_clip_control and EXT_texture_mirror_clamp_to_edge extensions and WebGL 2 supports EXT_texture_norm16.

The Sanitizer API now sanitizes HTML as it is parsed rather than afterwards, so custom element constructors no longer run for elements the sanitizer removes.
