Firefox 156 arrives with a forest of forks in its wake
From Waterfox to LibreWolf and Pale Moon, there's a browser for almost every Mozilla dissenter
Firefox 156 has been released with two new features: an option for Mac users to automatically launch the app at login and Wikipedia suggestions in French, German, and Italian. Users can turn off these suggestions in Firefox Suggest settings. Thunderbird 156 offers improved troubleshooting information for OpenPGP issues and additional options for OAuth authorization for POP3 and IMAP accounts.
Enterprise policies for controlling filters and user customizations have also been added. For those who prefer a slower upgrade cycle, alternatives include Mozilla's ESR versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, which receive security fixes annually. Several forks of Thunderbird and Firefox are available, including Betterbird, Waterfox, LibreWolf, Floorp, Zen Browser, and Mullvad browser.
Each of these offers unique features such as privacy-focused builds, minimal UI, customizability, and compatibility with specific operating systems.
