New
Firefox now supports and displays the new style of scrollbars
on Windows 11.
Fixed
On macOS, we’ve made improvements to system font loading which makes opening and switching to new tabs faster in certain situations.
Changed
- On February 8, we will be expiring the 18 colorway themes of Firefox version 94. This signals the end of a special, limited-time feature set. However, you can hold onto your favorite colorway, as long as you’re using it on the expiration date. In other words, if a colorway is “enabled” in the add-ons manager, that colorway is yours forever. Read more about colorway updates here.
·
Support for directly generating PostScript for printing on Linux
has been removed. Printing to PostScript printers still remains a supported
option, however.
Update: To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox
menu, then pick "About Firefox." Mac users need to select
"About Firefox" from the Firefox menu. If you do not use the English
language version, Fully Localized Versions are available
for download.
