    What is a progressive roll out?

    Certain new Firefox features are released gradually. This means some users will see the feature before everyone does. This approach helps to get early feedback to catch bugs and improve behavior quickly, meaning more Firefox users overall have a better experience.

Firefox Labs

  • Starting with Firefox 154, Firefox Nightly is testing a simpler tab context menu in Firefox Labs. It can be turned on in Settings > Firefox Labs > Streamline tab menu, and feedback is welcome on Mozilla Connect.

    Bug 2031718

Fixed

  • Fixed Firefox preventing Linux systems from going to sleep after a long browsing session.

    Bug 2057365
  • Fixed arrow-key and Page Up/Down scrolling not working on some pages with embedded content from other sites.

    Bug 1714720
  • Fixed characters from some less common scripts appearing as empty boxes on Windows.

    Bug 2058840
  • Fixed text disappearing in Microsoft 365 Word Online and other web apps on Linux when typing with certain keyboard layouts.

    Bug 2051354
  • On Firefox for Android, autofill prompts now dismiss when focus moves away instead of remaining open until back navigation.

    Bug 2056362
  • On Firefox for Android, tabs opened by extensions during private browsing now load in private browsing. Previously they appeared private while their content loaded in regular browsing, which could leave site data behind.

    Bug 1699444
  • Fixed an unnecessary paste confirmation appearing when using the keyboard shortcut to paste without formatting in Google Docs.

    Bug 2042302
  • Fixed text inside buttons not being selectable or copyable, which prevented copying direct messages on X and comments on YouTube.

    Bug 1998331
  • Fixed live audio streams such as internet radio stopping when playing in the background.

    Bug 2053681
  • Fixed the toolbar being left unresponsive by tab drag sessions that the platform never ends. Firefox now recovers from them.

    Bug 2061864

Changed

  • Firefox now opens mailto: links only in response to an explicit user action, so pages can no longer launch the default mail client unprompted.

    Bug 299116
  • PDFs smaller than the paper can now be enlarged up to the full sheet size when printing by setting the scale above 100%.

    Bug 1856162
  • Firefox now uses firefox-portal-detection.com instead of detectportal.firefox.com to detect captive portals and check network connectivity, so network allowlists referencing the old domain need updating.

    Bug 2049252
  • On Firefox for Android, long-pressing the toolbar shortcut now offers an Edit shortcut option that goes straight to its setting.

    Bug 2051292

Developer

  • The Rules View now offers toggles to emulate the prefers-reduced-motion media feature. Emulation options have also moved into a new panel behind the @ button.

    Bug 1477920
  • The JSON Viewer now displays JSON Lines (JSONL/NDJSON) documents, including inline errors for invalid lines.

    Bug 2055774
  • Fixed the Storage panel showing cookies from private windows, containers, and other partitions alongside the inspected page's own cookies.

    Bug 1856645
  • Uncaught non-Error exceptions now list their property names in the Console instead of showing only Object.

    Bug 2056615

Web Platform

  • Starting with Firefox 153, Firefox Nightly ships an experimental implementation of the link-parameters property by Tyler Thrailkill.

    Bug 2046153
  • Starting with Firefox 153, Firefox Nightly now supports two new keywords, closest-corner and farthest-corner, for the radial size in the circle() and ellipse() functions.

    Bug 2045278
  • Starting with Firefox 154, Firefox Nightly now supports QUIC version 2 (RFC 9369) for HTTP/3 connections. Firefox offers both QUIC v1 and v2 using compatible version negotiation (RFC 9368). The server selects which version is used, so connections upgrade to QUIC v2 when the server chooses it and remain on QUIC v1 otherwise.

    Bug 2040450
  • Firefox now supports the progress() CSS function. This is a math function that can be used in calculations to compute the position of a value relative to a start and an end.

    Bug 2047345
  • SVG <a> elements now expose the same URL properties as HTML links, including protocol, host, pathname, and search.

    Bug 2058578
  • Starting with Firefox 155, the RegExp Buffer Boundary proposal is now available for testing in Nightly builds by setting the javascript.options.experimental.regexp_buffer_boundaries preference.

    Bug 2047706
  • The CSS Typed Object Model's StylePropertyMap now supports delete() for removing a property.

    Bug 2057406
  • Starting with Firefox 155, Firefox Nightly offers limited support for the Speculation Rules API for same-origin prefetch, allowing pages to declare which links should be prefetched. This initial support covers only the immediate eagerness level and list source rules.

    Bug 2041381
  • The CSS attr() function now supports values of any type, so authors can use attribute values in any property rather than only as strings in the content property.

    Bug 2038940
  • Starting with Firefox 155, Nightly builds enable the Audio Session API, letting sites declare how their audio mixes with other applications.

    Bug 2055710
  • Starting with Firefox 155, Nightly builds now support the at-rule() function for @supports. This allows authors to test for browser support of specific at-rules, such as @supports at-rule(@scope).

    Bug 2060754
  • Firefox now supports the alpha() CSS function. This is a relative color function that can be used to modify just the alpha component of a given color.

    Bug 2059738
  • SVGGraphicsElement.getBBox() now honors its options argument, so bounding boxes can include stroke, markers, and clipping.

    Bug 2060873
  • Starting with Firefox 155, Firefox Nightly supports typed arithmetic in CSS calc(), allowing units to be multiplied and divided within math functions.

    Bug 1827404
  • Firefox now limits CSS to 75 levels of nested blocks and functions, preventing crashes that extremely deep nesting can cause under some circumstances. More deeply nested rules and values no longer parse.

    Bug 1973126
  • Firefox now supports the Promise.allKeyed and Promise.allSettledKeyed methods, which take an object of promises and resolve to an object of results with the same keys.

    Bug 2057270
  • Starting with Firefox 155, Firefox Nightly supports the <a> element in the MathML namespace, exposed via the new MathMLAnchorElement WebIDL interface, so mathematical expressions can be links.
