145.0beta Firefox Beta

October 14, 2025

Version 145.0beta, first offered to Beta channel users on October 14, 2025

Firefox Beta gets updated 3 times a week and as a consequence, the release notes for the Beta channel are updated continuously to reflect features that have reached sufficient maturity to benefit from community feedback and bug reports.

Warning: Features listed here may or may not make a final release of Firefox.

In addition to these release notes, you can follow ongoing development via the Firefox Trains website or our @FirefoxBeta Bluesky account.

New

  • Copy Link to Highlight allows users to share arbitrary sections of page with others by copying a link through the context menu with a given selection.

  • Add, edit, and delete comments to make your own notes in PDFs (summaries, questions, tasks, etc.). The comment sidebar helps you scan all your comments and quickly jump to them, which is handy for long or heavily marked-up PDFs.

Changed

  • Starting with Firefox 145, 32-bit Linux is no longer supported. We encourage users to install a 64-bit version of Firefox.

  • Horizontal tabs are now slightly more round, following the look of vertical tabs. Buttons and text inputs, including the Address bar, have been updated as well for consistency.

  • When a Firefox user has no extensions installed, and clicks the Extensions button on the toolbar, they will now see a message explaining how extensions can elevate their browsing experience with links to the Firefox add-ons store.

Web Platform

  • Support has been added for the Atomics.waitAsync proposal, which is a non-blocking, asynchronous version of Atomics.wait. This allow synchronization of threads based upon the value in a shared memory location, for more details please consult our MDN documentation.

  • Firefox now partially supports the new Integrity-Policy header, which is used to enforce sub-resource integrity for scripts.

  • Added Matroska support for the most commonly used codecs: AVC, HEVC, VP8, VP9, AV1, AAC, Opus, and Vorbis.

  • The text-autospace property is now supported, allowing automatic spacing adjustments between characters from different scripts.
