German blog reader Patrick contacted me by mail because a whole new message was thrown at him when he started the updated Firefox.

#Firefox esr 17 release date update

Firefox should update itself automatically in all versions, but can be downloaded from this website for various platforms (the variant is to be selected via the displayed list boxes). Firefox 102.7 ESRĪlso the versions 102.7 with long-term support (ESR) was released and closes two security holes. The list of vulnerabilities can be found on this page. The new Firefox also fixes vulnerabilities, with some rated as high. Several bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the Enterprise variant ( see).

The empty state messages and graphical components displayed in the Firefox view for the Tab Pickup and Recently Closed sections have been updated to improve usability.

The 'Recently Closed' section in the Firefox view now allows users to manually close/remove URL links from the list.

This avoids accidental zooming and is consistent with the behavior of other web browsers on macOS.

On macOS, Ctrl or Cmd + trackpad or mouse wheel now scrolls the page instead of zooming.

Users can still access saved and active colorways through the Add-ons and Themes menu option.

As of January 16, Colorways will no longer exist in Firefox.

In addition, several changes have been made in the new version of Firefox. Firefox builds in the Spanish from Spain (es-ES) and Spanish from Argentina (es-AR) locales now include a built-in dictionary for the Firefox spell checker.Users with limited mobility can now also use common keyboard shortcuts to navigate the calendar grid and month selection spinners. Native HTML date and time selection can now be used with the keyboard alone, improving accessibility for screen reader users.
