Firefox Release Notes

Automated translation of web content is now available to Firefox users! Unlike cloud-based alternatives, translation is done locally in Firefox, so that the text being translated does not leave your machine. Many thanks to the various partners of the EU R&D Bergamot project.

Web Audio in Firefox now uses the FDLIBM math library on all systems to improve anonymity with Fingerprint Protection.

The visibility of fonts to websites has been restricted to system fonts and language pack fonts to mitigate font fingerprinting in Private Browsing windows.

Video Effects and background blur are now available to Firefox users on Google Meet! (Note: These effects have also been released retroactively to support Firefox versions back to Firefox 115.)

Firefox Suggest users (US-only at this time) will now be able to see browser add-on suggestions right in the address bar based on their keywords.

Various security fixes.

You can find information about policy updates and enterprise specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 118 Release Notes.

10 new CSS math functions are now supported: round, mod, rem, pow, sqrt, hypot, log, exp, abs, sign.

OpaqueResponseBlocking is now enabled by default.

The <search> element is now supported. The <search> element is a group element that serves to contain all the elements used in a search or filtering operation.
