Aggiornamento Firefox 153.0 per Mac, Windows e Linux

Rilasciato l'aggiornamento alla versione 153.0 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

• Added support for Apple's system-wide full-screen keyboard command (Globe-F)

• Share any open page with a QR code. Right-click a tab, select Share > Generate QR Code. Great for posters, invitations, banners, and other printed materials. On macOS, you can also right-click the address bar to access the Share menu.

  

• Firefox Labs can now be opened quickly by typing "labs" or "experiment" in the address bar and selecting the Open Firefox Labs quick action.

  

• Firefox now verifies and displays Qualified Website Authentication Certificates (QWACs) in accordance with eIDAS regulations.

• Quickly pick and copy a color from any page by typing "pick color", "color picker", or "eyedropper" in the address bar and selecting the "Pick a color" quick action.

  

• It is now possible to add images as new pages within PDFs using the Firefox PDF editor.

• Added improved support for videos with overlays so users can more easily access video actions from context menus.

• It is now possible to merge multiple PDFs by dragging a PDF in the PDF sidebar.

• Firefox now highlights the location permission icon in red whenever a website has access to your location. The permission icon is also now visible on search results pages where it was previously hidden.

  

• This release of Containers in Firefox version 153 lets you keep separate parts of your online life (work, shopping, personal, banking) logged into different accounts in the same browser window, but keeps your cookies and ad tracking isolated inside each container.

• High Dynamic Range video playback is now available on Windows - this feature needs HDR mode enabled for the display in Windows Settings - Display. Laptop displays that only offer "HDR video streaming" are not supported at this time. Some videos recorded on phones in certain orientations are currently not shown as HDR at this time.

Firefox Labs

• Firefox now offers experimental support for the new JPEG XL image format, which generally provides better compression than WebP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF and is designed to supersede them. You can enable it from the Firefox Labs panel in Settings.

Modificato

• Extensions can no longer access local files by default. Users can grant or revoke this access via the new "Access local files on your computer" permission, separate from "Access your data for all websites".

• Local Network Access restrictions are now enabled by default for all users. Firefox requires websites to request permission before connecting to devices on your local network or to apps and services on your device. This protection was previously rolled out gradually via a staged rollout; it is now enabled by default across the general release population.

• Outdated cookie settings have been removed from the Settings UI. Users still in that mode should switch to default behavior "Isolate cross-site cookies". More information

Sviluppatori

• Developer Information

• Developer Tools "Local Mode": A new "Local Mode" setting in the options panel allows developers to load local directories via custom origins. This simplifies testing for APIs that do not function over standard file:// URLs, removing the need to run a local web server. Multiple directory mappings are supported.

Web Platform

• Firefox now supports a limited subset of the non-standard ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-element to improve web compatibility:

  • Rules with non-zero width/height disable overlay scrollbars for the affected container.
  • display: none on ::-webkit-scrollbar behaves like scrollbar-width: none, hiding the scrollbar.
  • @supports selector(::-webkit-scrollbar) now evaluates to true.
  • Full styling capabilities (colors, border-radius, etc.) are intentionally not supported

• Updated HTML parsing rules for <select> elements, aligning with web standards to support future customizable select dropdown features.

• The vertical-align property was converted into a shorthand for baseline-source, alignment-baseline, and baseline-shift in Firefox 149. Now, alignment-baseline supports the new keywords alphabetic, ideographic, central, mathematical, and hanging, extending the variety of baselines to choose for alignment.

• Implemented the new popover=hint spec, which removes a series of inconsistent and unexpected behaviors.

• The circle() and ellipse() functions accept two new keywords closest-corner and farthest-corner for their radial size.

• The newly added Error.stackTraceLimit property allows to set the maximal depth of the captured JavaScript error stack as a performance optimization.

• Developers can now use the text import attribute to import text files using the module system.

• The Picture In Picture API exposes a way for web developers to make use of user agent Picture-In-Picture functionality.

• The Intl.LocaleInfo proposal adds the ability to query Locale information, such as week data (first day in a week, weekend start day, weekend end day), text direction and hour cycle used in the Locale.

• The MediaCapabilities.decodingInfo() and MediaCapabilities.encodingInfo() methods now accept the "webrtc" configuration type. This allows a site to query whether a given audio or video configuration can be decoded or encoded for WebRTC and whether doing so will be smooth and/or powerEfficient.
