  1. ff v102.0 esr 28. june 2022 New We now provide more secure connections: Firefox can now automatically upgrade to HTTPS using HTTPS RR as Alt-Svc headers. For added viewing pleasure, full-range color levels are now supported for video playback on many systems. Find it easier now! Mac users can now access the macOS share options from the Firefox File menu. Voilà! Support for images containing ICC v4 profiles is enabled on macOS. Firefox now supports the new AVIF image format, which is based on the modern and royalty-free AV1 video codec. It offers significant bandwidth savings for sites compared to existing image formats. It also supports transparency and other advanced features. Firefox PDF viewer now supports filling more forms (e.g., XFA-based forms, used by multiple governments and banks). Learn more. When available system memory is critically low, Firefox on Windows will automatically unload tabs based on their last access time, memory usage, and other attributes. This helps to reduce Firefox out-of-memory crashes. Forgot something? Switching to an unloaded tab automatically reloads it. To prevent session loss for macOS users who are running Firefox from a mounted .dmg file, they’ll now be prompted to finish installation. Bear in mind, this permission prompt only appears the first time these users run Firefox on their computer. For your safety, Firefox now blocks downloads that rely on insecure connections, protecting against potentially malicious or unsafe downloads. Learn more and see where to find downloads in Firefox. Improved web compatibility for privacy protections with SmartBlock 3.0: In Private Browsing and Strict Tracking Protection, Firefox goes to great lengths to protect your web browsing activity from trackers. As part of this, the built-in content blocking will automatically block third-party scripts, images, and other content from being loaded from cross-site tracking companies reported by Disconnect. Learn more. Introducing a new referrer tracking protection in Strict Tracking Protection and Private Browsing. This feature prevents sites from unknowingly leaking private information to trackers. Learn more. Introducing Firefox Suggest, a feature that provides website suggestions as you type into the address bar. Learn more about this faster way to navigate the web and locale-specific features. Firefox macOS now uses Apple's low-power mode for fullscreen video on sites such as YouTube and Twitch. This meaningfully extends battery life in long viewing sessions. Now your kids can find out what the fox says on a loop without you ever missing a beat… With this release, power users can use about:unloads to release system resources by manually unloading tabs without closing them. On Windows, there will now be fewer interruptions because Firefox won’t prompt you for updates. Instead, a background agent will download and install updates even if Firefox is closed. On Linux, we’ve improved WebGL performance and reduced power consumption for many users. To better protect all Firefox users against side-channel attacks, such as Spectre, we introduced Site Isolation. Firefox no longer warns you by default when you exit the browser or close a window using a menu, button, or three-key command. This should cut back on unwelcome notifications, which is always nice—however, if you prefer a bit of notice, you’ll still have full control over the quit/close modal behavior. All warnings can be managed within Firefox Settings. No worries! More details here. Firefox supports the new Snap Layouts menus when running on Windows 11. RLBox—a new technology that hardens Firefox against potential security vulnerabilities in third-party libraries—is now enabled on all platforms. We’ve reduced CPU usage on macOS in Firefox and WindowServer during event processing. We’ve also reduced the power usage of software decoded video on macOS, especially in fullscreen. This includes streaming sites such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. You can now move the Picture-in-Picture toggle button to the opposite side of the video. Simply look for the new context menu option Move Picture-in-Picture Toggle to Left (Right) Side. We’ve made significant improvements in noise suppression and auto-gain-control, as well as slight improvements in echo-cancellation to provide you with a better overall experience. We’ve also significantly reduced main-thread load. When printing, you can now choose to print only the odd/even pages. Firefox now supports and displays the new style of scrollbars on Windows 11. Firefox has a new optimized download flow. Instead of prompting every time, files will download automatically. However, they can still be opened from the downloads panel with just one click. Easy! More information Firefox no longer asks what to do for each file by default. You won’t be prompted to choose a helper application or save to disk before downloading a file unless you have changed your download action setting for that type of file. Any files you download will be immediately saved on your disk. Depending on the current configuration, they’ll be saved in your preferred download folder, or you’ll be asked to select a location for each download. Windows and Linux users will find their downloaded files in the destination folder. They’ll no longer be put in the Temp folder. Firefox allows users to choose from a number of built-in search engines to set as their default. In this release, some users who had previously configured a default engine might notice their default search engine has changed since Mozilla was unable to secure formal permission to continue including certain search engines in Firefox. You can now toggle Narrate in ReaderMode with the keyboard shortcut "n." You can find added support for search—with or without diacritics—in the PDF viewer. The Linux sandbox has been strengthened: processes exposed to web content no longer have access to the X Window system (X11). Firefox now supports credit card autofill and capture in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. We now support captions/subtitles display on YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix videos you watch in Picture-in-Picture. Just turn on the subtitles on the in-page video player, and they will appear in PiP. Picture-in-Picture now also supports video captions on websites that use Web Video Text Track (WebVTT) format (e.g., Coursera.org, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and many more). On the first run after install, Firefox detects when its language does not match the operating system language and offers the user a choice between the two languages. Firefox spell checking now checks spelling in multiple languages. To enable additional languages, select them in the text field’s context menu. HDR video is now supported in Firefox on Mac—starting with YouTube! Firefox users on macOS 11+ (with HDR-compatible screens) can enjoy higher-fidelity video content. No need to manually flip any preferences to turn HDR video support on—just make sure battery preferences are NOT set to “optimize video streaming while on battery”. Hardware-accelerated AV1 video decoding is enabled on Windows with supported GPUs (Intel Gen 11+, AMD RDNA 2 Excluding Navi 24, GeForce 30). Installing the AV1 Video Extension from the Microsoft Store may also be required. Video overlay is enabled on Windows for Intel GPUs, reducing power usage during video playback. Improved fairness between painting and handling other events. This noticeably improves the performance of the volume slider on Twitch. Scrollbars on Linux and Windows 11 won't take space by default. On Linux, users can change this in Settings. On Windows, Firefox follows the system setting (System Settings > Accessibility > Visual Effects > Always show scrollbars). Firefox now ignores less restricted referrer policies—including unsafe-url, no-referrer-when-downgrade, and origin-when-cross-origin—for cross-site subresource/iframe requests to prevent privacy leaks from the referrer. Reading is now easier with the prefers-contrast media query, which allows sites to detect if the user has requested that web content is presented with a higher (or lower) contrast. All non-configured MIME types can now be assigned a custom action upon download completion. Firefox now allows users to use as many microphones as they want, at the same time, during video conferencing. The most exciting benefit is that you can easily switch your microphones at any time (if your conferencing service provider enables this flexibility). Print preview has been updated. Fixed Various security fixes. Developer Developer Information
  2. ff v91.11.0 esr 28. june 2022 Fixed Various stability, functionality, and security fixes.
  3. ff v102.0 28. june 2022 New Tired of too many windows crowding your screen? You can now disable automatic opening of the download panel every time a new download starts. Read more. Firefox now mitigates query parameter tracking when navigating sites if you have enabled strict mode for Enhanced Tracking Protection. Fixed When using a screen reader on Windows, pressing enter to activate an element no longer fails or clicks the wrong element and/or another application window. For those blind or with very limited vision, this technology reads out loud what is on the screen, and users can adapt them to their needs (now, on our platform, without errors). Various security fixes. Changed Improved security by moving audio decoding into a separate process with stricter sandboxing, thus improving process isolation. Enterprise Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the latest version of Firefox. You can find more information in the Firefox for Enterprise 102 Release Notes. Firefox 102 is the new Extended Support Release (ESR). Firefox 91 ESR goes out of support on September 20, 2022. (See the 102 ESR release notes for more information) Developer Developer Information You can now filter style sheets in the Style Editor tab of our developer tools Web Platform TransformStream and ReadableStream.pipeThrough have landed, allowing you to pipe from a ReadableStream to a WritableStream, executing a transformation on each chunk. ReadableStream, TransformStream, and WritableStream are all transferable now. Firefox now supports Content-Security-Policy (CSP) integration with WebAssembly. A document with a CSP that restricts scripts will no longer execute WebAssembly unless the policy uses 'unsafe-eval' or the new 'wasm-unsafe-eval' keyword.
  4. ff v101.0.1 09. june 2022 Fixed Fixed Firefox clearing the clipboard when closing on macOS (bug 1771823) Fixed a compatibility issue causing severely impaired functionality with win32k lockdown enabled on some Windows systems (bug 1769845) Fixed context menus not appearing when right-clicking Picture-in-Picture windows on some Linux systems (bug 1771914) Various stability fixes
  5. ff v91.10.0 esr 31. may 2022 Fixed Various stability, functionality, and security fixes.
  6. ff v101.0 31. may 2022 New Reading is now easier with the prefers-contrast media query, which allows sites to detect if the user has requested that web content is presented with a higher (or lower) contrast. It’s your choice! All non-configured MIME types can now be assigned a custom action upon download completion. Firefox now allows users to use as many microphones as you want, at the same time, during video conferencing. The most exciting benefit is that you can easily switch your microphones at any time (if your conferencing service provider enables this flexibility). Fixed Various security fixes. Changed Removed "subject common name" fallback support from certificate validation. This fallback mode was previously enabled only for manually installed certificates. The CA Browser Forum Baseline Requirements have required the presence of the "subjectAltName" extension since 2012, and use of the subject common name was deprecated in RFC 2818. Enterprise Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the latest version of Firefox. You can find more information in the Firefox for Enterprise 101 Release Notes. Developer Developer Information Inspector panel: When adding/removing a class name to/from an existing HTML element (using .cls button in Rules View), an autocomplete drop down automatically offers all existing class names on the page. In Firefox 101 the selected class name in the autocomplete drop-down list is auto-applied immediately as the user changes the selection of the autocomplete list (using up/down arrow keys). This is especially useful for quick testing of various styles. Inspector panel: This new option can be used to disable “drag to update” features in the Rule View (values of some CSS properties e.g., sizes can be modified by dragging the mouse horizontally). WebDriver BiDi: This protocol is enabled on the release channel to support external tools such as Selenium, which plan to start using WebDriver BiDi for Firefox. WebDriver-BiDi aims to provide a cross-browser protocol for browser automation that meets the requirements of modern web application testing tools. This allows both the client and the server to send & receive requests and responses. Web Platform Firefox new has added support for large, small, dynamic viewport units and logical ones (*vi and *vb). This gives users the flexibility to choose whether page elements are sized to the “smallest” viewport size (dynamic toolbar visible), “largest” viewport size (dynamic toolbar hidden), or “dynamic” viewport size (based on current status of dynamic toolbar). Firefox 101 features added web conferencing support for enumerating (reducing errors caused by transposing or mistyping numbers) and selecting multiple audio input devices (giving you the ability to record or process multiple separate audio sources together, synchronously, at once) through navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices().
  7. ff v91.9.1 esr 20. may 2022 Fixed Security fix
  8. ff v100.0.2 20. may 2022 Fixed Security fix
  9. ff v100.0.1 16. may 2022 Fixed Fixed an issue with subtitles in Picture-in-Picture mode while using Netflix (bug 1768818) Fixed an issue where some commands were unavailable in the Picture-in-Picture window (bug 1768201) Changed Firefox's security sandbox now blocks access to the Win32k APIs for Content Processes on Windows (bug 1767999)
  10. ff v100.0 03. may 2022 New We now support captions/subtitles display on YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix videos you watch in Picture-in-Picture.

Firefox now ignores less restricted referrer policies—including unsafe-url, no-referrer-when-downgrade, and origin-when-cross-origin—for cross-site subresource/iframe requests to prevent privacy leaks from the referrer. Fixed Users can now choose preferred color schemes for websites. Theme authors can now make better decisions about which color scheme Firefox uses for menus. Web content appearance can now be changed in Settings. Beginning in this release, the Firefox installer for Windows is signed with a SHA-256 digest, rather than SHA-1. Update KB4474419 is required for successful installation on a computer running Microsoft Windows 7. For more details about this update, visit the Microsoft Technical Support website. In macOS 11+ we now only rasterize the fonts once per window. This means that opening a new tab is fast, and switching tabs in the same window is also fast. (There's still work to do to share fonts across windows, or to reduce the time it takes to initialize these fonts.) The performance of deeply-nested display: grid elements is greatly improved. Support for profiling multiple java threads has been added. Soft-reloading a web page will no longer cause revalidation for all resources. Non-vsync tasks are given more time to run, which improves behavior on Google docs and Twitch. Geckoview APIs have been added to control the start/stop time of capturing a profile. Various security fixes. Changed Firefox has a new focus indicator for links which replaces the old dotted outline with a solid blue outline. This change unifies the focus indicators across form fields and links, which makes it easier to identify the focused link, especially for users with low vision. New users can now set Firefox as the default PDF handler when setting Firefox as their default browser. Some websites might not work correctly in Firefox version 100 due to Firefox's new three-digit number. You can read about it in our blog post here! See the Mozilla Support article Difficulties opening or using a website in Firefox 100 for possible workarounds you can use. There, you will also find instructions for reporting a broken website so that Mozilla can help fix the problem. Mozilla Support articles for Desktop and Android: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/difficulties-opening-or-using-website-firefox-100 https://support.mozilla.org/kb/difficulties-firefox-android-100 Enterprise Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the latest version of Firefox. You can find more information in the Firefox for Enterprise 100 Release Notes. Developer Developer Information Web Platform Support for the WritableStream API has landed. WritableStreams provide an interface for writing streaming data to a sink object. Additionally, ReadableStream gained support for the “pipeTo” method, which allows you to connect a ReadableStream to a WritableStream. For example, this would allow you to process data retrieved using “fetch” with the WritableStream Sink object. Support for WASM Exceptions is now available. This allows C++ exception handling and unwinding/destructing semantics to be expressed in WASM without an additional JavaScript helper code—and at zero cost to code that does not rely on exception semantics.

  16. Ps: in your case with an "not os drive" try the "file defrag" like another post above I mean this would work faster too.
  17. ... what size in the middle have your fragmended files? 190 - 248 mb? how full is your 2 tb hdd? not only this 100 or 170 gb or? with usb 3 connection perhaps it would be faster (defrag) if you copy your whole drive to another (and back again - with another external can you save this time of course :-) ). perhaps this can help faster as 13 hours or so on the other side - with usb 2 it seems to be also fine, the external hdd cant read the files faster
