What’s confusing about Linux is that sometimes you update software from within the software itself, while other times it’s the system software update tool that is going to do the work.
If you’re curious, Mozilla, the company behind Firefox, has a security advisory page with all known threats and which version of Firefox fixes ’em too. Even American Military News had a piece encouraging readers to “update their browser immediately”. Not only that, but in early January, 2020, no less a group than US Homeland Security issued an update warning to all Firefox users about an active exploit. As a big, complex program, it’s perhaps more vulnerable than some of the other apps on your Linux system. If you use Ubuntu you will receive the Firefox 111 update alongside other software updates/in the background via Snap.You’re smart for wanting to keep all your software updated, particularly Firefox. You can download the latest release for these OSes from the Mozilla website. Linux-specific tweaks include better naming of PulseAudio streams from media elements ensuring KDE users choosing CSD decoration get correctly-sized minimise/maximise buttons in the titlebar when using fractional scaling and there are balms for errant Wayland woes that (sometimes) caused flickering in context menus.įirefox is free, open source software available for Windows, macOS, and something called Linux (no, not sure either). The browser also introduces supports color(), lab(), lch(), oklab(), and oklch() CSS options, just not (yet) by default. Mozilla say Windows users will find that native notifications are enabled by default (which is great for them, I guess), and that users of Firefox Relay can ‘opt-in to create Relay email masks directly from the Firefox credential manager’ (which is great for them too, I guess).Įlsewhere, web apps used in Firefox can, should developers care to, take advantage of a new, sandboxed file-system storage API for storing data securely. Shocked? Course you’re not! The latest release arrives bang on schedule, one month to the day of the Firefox 110 release (which was notable for featuring WebGL improvements on Linux).Īlas, the change-log this time around is a little (perceptually) leaner. Mozilla Firefox 111 is available to download.
