Firefox 130 is now available for download Here are all the new features the update brings
Firefox has gradually been overtaken by Google Chrome and Edge and is no longer the most used browser at all. Firefox is ranked third in the market share of the most used web browsers, but Mozilla does not give up and does not stop adding new features with which you can win back users.
Mozilla releases a new version of its browser roughly every 4 weeks with some changes, improvements and fixes of all kinds, and now it's time for Firefox 130.
The next update will allow you to remain independent and have full control over your browser in terms of privacy and performance. Although this does not mean that Firefox 130 does not share some new features with Chrome or Edge such as translating content or playing multimedia.
- All the new features brought by Firefox 130
Firefox 130 is committed to the user experience and the browser will bring a new translation function that allows you to select a part of the text on the page or the entire page in Chrome style. Users can translate it into the language they want without having to use extensions, which is one of the most requested functions in recent months.
Mozilla has also brought the Firefox Labs section which is now available for users of Nightly versions of the browser. This new configuration allows you to enable or disable experimental features of the browser faster without having to change the "flags" of the configuration.
The latest features introduced by Mozilla will be displayed in the Firefox Labs section and users will be able to try them out, enable them with a single click, or deactivate them if they are not interested.
The browser also brings new features to Linux devices. Mozilla has solved one of the most annoying problems for its browser users with search engine animations. Firefox developers have turned to Google Chrome and Safari for scrolling animations. When you reach the end of the page, there is a slight bounce effect as in other operating systems.
Mozilla has improved the overall performance of the browser compared to the previous version, but has also added exclusive features for developers. Firefox has released support for the Web Codecs API, which allows developers to access audio and video encoders and decoders to make it easier to embed multimedia content.
- When will Firefox 130 be available on all devices?
Firefox 130 is now available to some users and the company is expected to make it available to all supported devices later today. Users can install the update from the browser itself or download it from Mozilla's official website if they are not using it.
If the update isn't out yet and you want to try it as soon as possible, you can download version 130 directly from Mozilla Firefox's FTP .
