Firefox 144.0.2 is out with fixes for crashes on Windows, OneDrive issues, and more

Firefox 144 received yet another bug-fixing update. Mozilla has released version 144.0.2, which is now available for download for all users, bringing quite a big list of various fixes and improvements. Notably, this update fixed startup crashes on Windows, compatibility issues with OneDrive, various bugs on macOS and particularly macOS Tahoe, and more.

Here is the changelog:

• Fixed an issue where the list of available locales in about:settings contained more locales than were downloaded or currently supported. (Bug 1994642)
• Fixed an issue where using the keyboard to open the Unified Search dropdown was inconsistent. The dropdown now expands properly, allowing users to select a search engine using the keyboard. (Bug 1979826)
• Fixed an issue where curated photo collections on Microsoft OneDrive's Photos “For You” page failed to load, showing a gray screen instead of content. Collections now display as expected. (Bug 1986533)
• Fixed a startup crash affecting Windows users with Avast or other security software installed. (Bug 1992678)
• Fixed an issue on macOS where the emoji picker shortcut and menu entry stopped working after switching between apps. (Bug 1980815)
• Fixed an issue on macOS where dragging images from Firefox into third-party apps like Preview could fail or behave unexpectedly. (Bug 1995345)
• Fixed performance and video playback issues on macOS 14.6 (Tahoe) that occurred when the system was under heavy load. (Bug 1995638)
• Fixed a browser hang on macOS 14.6 (Tahoe) that could occur when bookmark folders contained loops or repeated references to themselves. (Bug 1995621)
