Aggiornamento Firefox 87.0 per Mac, Windows e Linux

Rilasciato l'aggiornamento alla versione 87.0 del noto browser Firefox.

A questo link sono pubblicate le note di rilascio di questa nuova versione con l'elenco di tutte le novità, in particolare:


Nuovo

• You’ll encounter less website breakage in Private Browsing and Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection with SmartBlock, which provides stand-in scripts so that websites load properly.

• To further protect your privacy, our new default HTTP Referrer policy will trim path and query string information from referrer headers to prevent sites from accidentally leaking sensitive user data.

• The “Highlight All” feature on Find in Page now displays tick marks alongside your scrollbar that correspond to the location of matches found on that page.

• We’re proud to announce full support for macOS built-in screen reader, VoiceOver.

• We’ve added a new locale: Silesian (szl)

Risolto

• We’ve fixed several significant accessibility issues:

  • Video controls now have visible focus styling and video and audio controls are now keyboard navigable. (Bug 1681007)
  • HTML <meter> is now spoken by screen readers. (Bug 1460378)
  • Firefox now sets a useful initial focus in Add-ons Manager. (Bug 580537)
  • Firefox will now fire a name/description change event when aria-labelledby/describedby content changes. (Bug 493683)

• Various security fixes.

Modificato

• To prevent user data loss when filling out forms, we’ve disabled the Backspace key as a navigation shortcut for the back navigation button. To re-enable the Backspace keyboard shortcut, you can change the about:config preference browser.backspace_action to 0. You can also use the recommended Alt + Left arrow (Command + Left arrow on Mac) shortcut instead.
  Firefox keyboard shortcuts

• We've removed items from the Library menu that weren't used often or have other access points in the browser: Synced tabs, Recent highlights, and Pocket list.

• We've simplified the Help menu by reducing redundant items, such as those that point to Firefox support pages that can also be accessed via the Get Help item.

Enterprise

• Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the latest version of Firefox. You can see more details in the Firefox for Enterprise 87 Release Notes.

Sviluppatori

• Developer Information

• We've greatly simplified the Web Developer menu. Go to Application Menu > Web Developer > Web Developer Tools to access Inspector, Web Console, Debugger, Network Style Error, Performance, Storage Inspector, Accessibility, and Application

• Developers can now use the Page Inspector to simulate prefers-color-scheme media queries, without having to change the operating system to light or dark mode.

• Developers can now use the Page Inspector to toggle the :target pseudo-class for the currently selected element in addition to the pseudo-classes that were previously supported: :hover, :active and :focus, :focus-within, :focus-visible, and :visited.

• There is a number of Page Inspector improvements and bug fixes related to inactive CSS rules:

  • The table-layout property is now marked as inactive for non-table elements.
  • The scroll-padding properties (shorthand and longhand) are now marked as inactive for non-scrollable elements.
  • The text-overflow property was previously incorrectly marked as inactive for some overflow values.
