New

  • Starting with Firefox 127, we're enabling a new anti-tracking feature in Nightly: Bounce Tracking Protection. This protection detects bounce trackers based on redirect behavior and periodically purges their cookies & site data to prevent tracking.

  • Starting with Firefox for Android 128, the new tab strip feature for tablets is available for testing in Nightly builds! This enhancement makes tab management more intuitive and efficient, providing a smoother browsing experience for devices in that form factor. Please share your feedback on Google Play and/or the Mozilla Connect post to help us improve it further.

    Bug 1805727
  • Starting with Firefox 125, Nightly builds will attempt to establish TLS connections using a hybrid post-quantum key agreement mechanism (X25519+Kyber768). This may result in slow TLS handshakes or failed connections on networks with TLS intercepting middleboxes. The feature can be disabled by setting the security.tls.enable_kyber preference to false.

  • Starting with Firefox 127, @starting-style is supported in Nightly builds.

    Bug 1834876
  • The setCodecPreferences method allows applications to disable the negotiation of specific codecs (including RTX/RED/FEC). It also allows an application to cause a remote peer to prefer the codec that appears first in the list for sending.

    Bug 1396922
