Firefox 123 It is now available as a new stable version of the Mozilla web browser, which on this occasion does not come with significant news, but with some details that may be interesting in specific contexts.

Mozilla highlighted only two new features for all users. The first is that search function in Firefox Viewso users can now search all tabs in each of the section pages: Open Tabs, Recently Closed Tabs, Other Devices Tabs, and History.

The second novelty is a website compatibility reporting tool which allows users to inform Mozilla about those websites that do not work properly in Firefox but do in other browsers. You don’t have to be a feature here to guess that the foundation refers to Chromium and its derivatives, with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge leading the way.

Firefox 123 introduced some changes compared to previous versions, among which the configuration of the address bar, which can be found in the Search section of Settings, and improved profile-driven optimizations (PGO) on Android and macOS for ARM64 stand out.

As for the web platform, they highlight the implementation of linear RGB interpolation for SVG image transitions, audio echo cancellation that can now be applied to microphone inputs when the audio output is routed to another device using setSinkId()in addition to support for declarative ShadowDOM, it provides developers with greater flexibility and improved ergonomics when working with ShadowDOM directly in HTML.

An interesting detail they pointed out in OMG Ubuntu is that The build of Firefox for Linux now uses evdev to support controllers such as DualShock 4 and Xbox One. Until now, the browser used an old API in an open source system that had limitations such as supporting only two axes and not supporting things as common as analog triggers, vibrations, and LED lights. You know, the Linux desktop and its tendency to be late for everything.

Details about Mozilla Firefox 123 are available in the release notes, while the application can be obtained for Windows, macOS and Linux in the corresponding download section. If you have it installed, it can be forced to update via Main Menu > Help > “About Firefox”, although for Linux it’s logical to wait for it to arrive via the distribution’s repositories, Snap and/or Flathub (Flatpak). On Android, it is provided through the Google Play Store.
