Updates 7/3/23 - Firefox

Firefox Version 115.0, first offered to Release channel users on July 4, 2023
 
 
In January 2023, Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 and Windows 8 . As a consequence, this is the last version of Firefox that users on those operating systems will receive. Users on Windows 7 and Windows 8 will automatically be migrated to the ESR 115 version of Firefox so that they continue to receive important security updates. ( Mozilla will provide security updates for these users until September 2024. No security updates will be provided after that date. ) Visit this Firefox support article for more information.

Similarly, this is the last major version of Firefox that will support Apple macOS 10.12, 10.13, and 10.14. Users on those operating systems will be migrated to the ESR 115 version of Firefox so that they continue to receive important updates. Visit this Firefox support article for more information.

We want to extend a special thank you to all of the new Mozillians who contributed to this release of Firefox!

 

 

New

  • Migrating from another browser? Now you can bring over payment methods you've saved in Chrome-based browsers to Firefox.

  • Hardware video decoding is now enabled for Intel GPUs on Linux.

  • The Tab Manager dropdown now features close buttons, so you can close tabs more quickly.

  • We've refreshed and streamlined the user interface for importing data in from other browsers.

  • Users without platform support for H264 video decoding can now fallback to Cisco's OpenH264 plugin for playback.

 

 

Fixed

  • Windows Magnifier now follows the text cursor correctly when the Firefox title bar is visible.

  • Windows users on low-end/USB wifi drivers and with OS geolocation disabled can now approve geolocation on a case by case basis without causing system-wide network instability.

  • Various security fixes.

 

 

Changed

  • Undo and redo are now available in Password fields.

  • On Linux, middle clicks on the new tab button will now open the xclipboard contents in the new tab. If the xclipboard content is a URL then that URL is opened, any other text is opened with your default search provider.

  • For users with a Firefox Colorways built-in theme, the theme will be automatically migrated to the same theme hosted on addons.mozilla.org for Firefox profiles that have disabled add-ons auto-updates. This will allow users to keep their Colorways theme when they are later removed from Firefox installer files.

  • Certain Firefox users may come across a message in the extensions panel indicating that their add-ons are not allowed on the site currently open. We have introduced a new back-end feature to only allow some extensions monitored by Mozilla to run on specific websites for various reasons, including security concerns.
