Mozilla Firefox 150

Mozilla has released Firefox 150, the latest major update for the popular browser. Today's release brings various quality-of-life improvements and new features, including better Split View, new capabilities for the built-in PDF editor, tab sharing improvements, profile management for Windows 10 users, and more.

Here is the changelog:

  • Split View just got better: You can now right-click any link and choose *Open Link in Split View* to open it alongside your current tab. You can also search open tabs when creating a split view and quickly reverse tab positions using the new *Reverse Tabs* option in the tab context menu.
  • Share multiple tabs in a single step: select several tabs, right-click, and choose Share X links. When pasted into other apps, links include both the page title and URL for easy reading.
  • You can now use Firefox's built-in PDF editor to reorder, copy, paste, delete, and export pages in a PDF.
  • Local network access restrictions are now being extended to all users. Firefox will require websites to request your permission before connecting to devices on your local network or to apps and services on your device. Previously limited to users with Enhanced Tracking Protection set to Strict, this protection is now rolling out gradually to all users.
  • Try out real-time, private translations in Firefox Desktop with the `about:translations` page. Start typing the word "translate" into the URL bar for a quick-action shortcut to the page.

  • Added support for the GTK emoji picker on Linux, allowing users to insert emoji using the system shortcut (typically Ctrl+.).
  • Firefox web apps are now available to Windows users who installed Firefox through the Microsoft Store.
  • The new Firefox Profile management system is now available to all users, including users on Windows 10.
  • Backing up a profile to a file is now available to all Windows 10 and 11 users, including those who use the new profile management system.
  • Firefox now ships with a new .rpm package for Linux users on Red Hat, Fedora, openSUSE, and other RPM-based distributions.
  • If you prefer creating tab groups from the context menu, you can now turn off drag-and-drop group creation in Settings > Tabs > Drag tabs to create tab groups.

Firefox 150.0 is now available for download on Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will be able to update to the latest release in the coming hours. Full release notes will be available in the official documentation (currently not available).
