• Firefox 155 released

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Wed Sep 2 12:50:00 2026

    Version
    155 of the Firefox web browser has been released. Notable changes include a count in the address bar of how many ad trackers Firefox has blocked, container reordering, and ensuring that mailto: links are only opened by explicit
    user actions. There is also a change of the domain used for "captive portals" (such as the ones used to sign into hotel WiFI): Firefox now uses "firefox-portal-detection.com" instead of "detectportal.firefox.com", which may require a change in network allow lists.

    The release also includes a number of changes
    that may impact web developers, as well as a number of bug fixes and security fixes.
