Firefox 104 desktop version:
-
Captions are now available for Disney+ Picture-in-Picture
-
Firefox now supports the scroll snap stop property as well as re-snapping. The user can use the always and normal values of the scroll-snap-stop property to specify whether to pass snap points, even when scrolling quickly. Re-snapping attempts to preserve the last snap position after any content/layout changes.
-
Firefox Analyzer can analyze the power usage of websites (Apple M1 and Windows 11 only).
-
The Firefox UI itself can limit performance and battery usage when minimized or obscured.
-
The highlight color is now correctly preserved after entering a carriage return in the mail editor of Yahoo Mail and Outlook.
-
After bypassing https, the only error page returned takes the user to the previously closed error page. Now, going back takes the user to the last site they visited.
-
Paste unformatted shortcuts (shift+ctrl / cmd+v) now work in plain text contexts such as input and text areas.
-
Various security fixes.
Firefox 104 for Android:
-
Users can now auto-fill forms for addresses on Firefox. This feature is automatically turned on by default, but users can turn it off at any time in the autofill settings.
-
LastPass password autofill prompts will no longer appear under incorrect fields.
-
Microphone notifications while recording audio will appear as expected.
-
GPU blacklisting has been fixed to avoid graphics crashes.
-
Users can now copy from text areas that may have previously been blocked.
-
Fixed other sites not loading correctly with Enhanced Tracking Protection strict mode.
-
Fixed a scrolling performance bug that caused staggered scrolling instead of smooth scrolling.
-
Fixed accessibility crash.
Firefox 104 for iOS:
-
Mobile bookmarks will be displayed first: When the user opens the bookmarks page, all bookmarks created on Firefox for iOS will be displayed first. Bookmarked pages, Bookmarks Workbar, and Uncategorized Bookmarks folders are placed in a folder called Desktop Bookmarks. By default, bookmarks are saved to the corresponding root folder.
-
Bugfixes and optimizations: Sponsored shortcut URLs that users frequently visit will no longer appear as shortcuts on the home page of Firefox for iOS. If the user has previously accessed the sponsored shortcut, it will still appear in the history.
