Firefox and Thunderbird hit the fortnightly release treadmill
Don't disable automatic updates if the pace is too much – that's what ESR is for
Mozilla has released Firefox 155 and Thunderbird 155, following an accelerated release schedule starting in September. The new features in Firefox 155 focus on AI capabilities, including a Smart Window feature, improved tab-group naming, and the ability to display blocked trackers in the address bar. The containers feature, introduced in Firefox 153, now allows users to rearrange containers.
Firefox also supports Happy Eyeballs v3 for faster page loading and scales PDFs to fit on printed pages. Thunderbird 155 introduces several enhancements, such as displaying the number of blocked trackers, improved S/MIME encrypted attachment handling, and better OAuth authentication. Additionally, it fixes around 30 bugs and closes several vulnerabilities.
Users can still opt for the ESR (Extended Support Release) version, which includes the AI kill switch. The release also brings Marathi and Urdu language support for Thunderbird.
