Updates 1/23/24 - Firefox

New

• Firefox now displays images and descriptions for search suggestions when provided by the search engine.

  

• The translations feature received an improvement in the quality of translated webpages. The results should be much more stable. This fixes issues where the content of a page could disappear when translated, or interactive widgets could break.

• Firefox now supports creating and using passkeys stored in the iCloud Keychain on macOS.

• MDN Web Docs article suggestions from Firefox Suggest will be available in the address bar for users searching for web development-related information.

• The line breaking rules of Web content now match the Unicode Standard. This improves Web Browser compatibility for line breaking. An additional improvement for East Asian and South East Asian end users, Firefox now supports proper language-aware word selection when double-clicking on text for languages including Chinese, Japanese, Burmese, Lao, Khmer, and Thai.

• Firefox now ships with a new .deb package for Linux users on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint.

Fixed

• Various security fixes.  (  https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-01/ )
  
  

  
  
  Unresolved

  • Some machines with older AMD CPUs may see image thumbnails incorrectly rendered as all black in file dialogs. If this is the case, updating the graphics driver should address this issue.
