Quote:Firefox 147.0 official release later today
Firefox 147.0, See All New Features, Updates and Fixes- WebGPU support is now enabled for devices with Apple Silicon processors on all supported macOS versions.
- Firefox now supports Compression Dictionaries. This standard has already been adopted by several major sites and can significantly reduce the number of bytes transferred to load a page. This leads to faster page load times, particularly in limited bandwidth situations.
- Improved video playback performance on systems with AMD GPUs by enabling zero-copy playback for hardware-decoded video where supported, bringing them to parity with Intel and NVIDIA GPUs.
- Firefox now supports the Safe Browsing V5 protocol and is migrating from Safe Browsing V4 to the local list mode of Safe Browsing V5 protocol.
- Users with Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) set to Strict will have local network access restrictions enabled by default. Firefox will now require users to explicitly allow public websites to access local network resources.
- Firefox now allows you to customize your keyboard shortcuts to replace hard-to-type or hard-to-remember hotkeys, eliminate conflicts with other software, and create your preferred set. Access this experimental new feature by typing `about:keyboard` in the address bar.
- A Picture-in-Picture player window can now optionally be opened automatically for a video playing in a tab when that tab goes into the background.
