Firefox 152.0.2 maintenance release is now available, bringing four crucial fixes to the popular web browser. These fixes include:
- A fix for a regression that was causing issues with the playback of certain MP4 videos.
- Resolution for problems related to incorrectly displaying localized section names in the configurator, as reported here.
- Correcting inconsistencies in the content displayed in new tabs when the language was changed in the settings, as detailed in this bug report.
- An improvement to address a performance regression that was affecting concurrent encryption and decryption operations on websites like Proton Drive, as mentioned in this report.
Furthermore, an announcement has been made regarding the upcoming Firefox 153 release. In the next version, access to local files via URL using the “file:” protocol will be restricted by default. Add-ons will be required to obtain separate permission from users to access local files.
In the nightly builds of Firefox, a new feature has been introduced. Users can now call the function to determine the color of selected points on the screen (eyedropper tool) by entering commands like “color” or “eyedropper” in the address bar.
