112.0beta
Firefox Beta

March 14, 2023

Version 112.0beta, first offered to Beta channel users on March 14, 2023

Firefox Beta gets updated 3 times a week and as a consequence, the release notes for the Beta channel are updated continuously to reflect features that have reached sufficient maturity to benefit from community feedback and bug reports.

Warning: Features listed here may or may not make a final release of Firefox.

In addition to these release notes, you can follow ongoing development via our @FirefoxBeta Twitter account.

New

  • Right-clicking on password fields now shows an option to reveal the password.

  • Ubuntu Linux users can now import their browser data from the Chromium Snap package. Currently, this will only work if Firefox is not also installed as a Snap package, but work is underway to address this!

  • Do you use the tab list panel in the tab bar? If so, you can now close tabs by middle-clicking items in that list.

  • You've always been able to un-close a tab by using (Cmd/Ctrl)-Shift-T. Now, that same shortcut will restore the previous session if there are no more closed tabs from the same session to re-open.

  • Users on macOS and Linux can now use FIDO2 / WebAuthn authenticators over USB. Some advanced features, such as fully passwordless logins, require a PIN to be set on the authenticator.

Changed

  • The deprecated U2F Javascript API is now disabled by default. The U2F protocol remains usable through the WebAuthn API. The U2F API can be re-enabled using the security.webauth.u2f preference.

Developer

Web Platform

  • “Clear” button, newly added to the date picker panel, allows users to quickly clear the input with type “date“ or “datetime-local” and provides familiar experience across browsers.
