Firefox 112.0
First a small supplement from last week to Firefox 112. Firefox 112.0 is a new development branch, which according to the release notes on April 11, 2023 brings the following listed innovations and corrections.
- Right-clicking on password fields now shows an option to reveal the password.
- Ubuntu Linux users can now import their browser data from the Chromium Snap package. Currently, this will only work if Firefox is not also installed as a Snap package, but work is underway to address this!
- Do you use the tab list panel in the tab bar? If so, you can now close tabs by middle-clicking items in that list.
- You've always been able to un-close a tab by using (Cmd/Ctrl)-Shift-T. Now, that same shortcut will restore the previous session if there are no more closed tabs from the same session to re-open.
- For all ETP Strict users, we extended the list of known tracking parameters that are removed from URLs to further protect our users from cross-site tracking.
- Enables overlay of software-decoded video on Intel GPUs in Windows. Improves video down scaling quality and reduces GPU usage.
- Private windows and ETP set to strict will now include email tracking protection. This will make it harder for email trackers to learn the browsing habits of Firefox users. You can check the Tracking Content in the sub-panel on the shield icon panel.
- Absturz unter macOS beim Pinch-Zooming unter bestimmten Umständen behoben (Bug 1658986).
- Es wurde ein Fehler behoben, der bei einigen Windows-Nutzern zum Einfrieren von Firefox beim Starten führte (Fehler 1823159).
In addition, the deprecated U2F Javascript API is now disabled by default. The U2F protocol can still be used via the WebAuthn API. The U2F API can be re-enabled via the security.webauth.u2f preference. Policies have been adjusted for enterprises (see). Vulnerabilities described here have also been fixed. Firefox should update automatically, but can be downloaded from this website for various platforms (choose the variant from the list boxes shown).
