Firefox 119.0 zur Installation verfügbar

Firefox wurde heute in der neuen Version 119.0 veröffentlicht. Mit dieser neuen Version kommen viele neue Funktionen bei den Usern an, wie die neue große Versionsnummer bereits vermuten lässt.

Mit Version 119.0 kommt nun ein weiteres großes Update für den Browser. Mit der neuen Version kommen viele neue Features und es wurden kleinere Fehler behoben. Der Changelog ist dieses mal recht umfangreich, da haben die Entwickler ganze Arbeit geleistet.

Firefox 119.0 Changelog

New

• To access Firefox View, select the file folder icon at the top left of your tab strip.
• Gradually rolling out in Fx119, Firefox now allows you to edit PDFs by adding images and alt text, in addition to text and drawings.
• Recently closed tabs now persist between sessions that don’t have automatic session restore enabled. Manually restoring a previous session will continue to reopen any previously open tabs or windows.
• If you’re migrating your data from Chrome, Firefox now offers the ability to import some of your extensions as well.
• As part of Total Cookie Protection, Firefox now supports the partitioning of Blob URLs, this mitigates a potential tracking vector that third-party agents could use to track an individual.
• The visibility of fonts to websites has been restricted to system fonts and language pack fonts in Enhanced Tracking Protection strict mode to mitigate font fingerprinting.
• The Storage Access API web standard was updated to improve security while mitigating website breakages and further enabling the phase out of third-party cookies in Firefox.
• Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) is now available to Firefox users, delivering a more private browsing experience. ECH extends the encryption used in TLS connections to cover more of the handshake and better protect sensitive fields. Read more about the launch of ECH on Mozilla Distilled.
• Media sniffing is no longer applied to files served as type application/octet-stream, this allows these files to be downloaded instead of attempting playback.
• On Windows, the mouse pointer will disappear while typing if the relevant Windows mouse properties system setting is enabled.
• Firefox is now available in the Santali (sat) language.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue causing unexpected jumps in scroll position on Facebook.
• Various security fixes.

Enterprise

• You can find information about policy updates and enterprise specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 119 Release Notes.

Developer

• Several enhancements have been made to the Inactive CSS styles feature. This feature assists in identifying CSS properties that have no effect on an element. Pseudo-elements such as ::first-letter, ::cue, and ::placeholder are now fully supported.
• The JSON viewer is particularly useful for debugging REST APIs, as it displays formatted JSON responses. Now, if the JSON is invalid or broken, it automatically switches to a raw data view, improving the user experience.

Web Platform

• ARIA reflection for simple attributes and default Accessibility Semantics for Custom Elements are now supported. Note this includes boolean, enum, number, and string attributes, but not attributes that reference other elements.
• credentialless is now supported in Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy.
• The CSS attr() function now supports a fallback parameter, for example attr(foobar, "Default value").
• Grouping of items in an array (and iterables) is now easier by using the methods Object.groupBy or Map.groupBy.
