Mozilla Firefox 109.0.1 — n'1fo[r-matik]

Une nouvelle mouture du navigateur Firefox est arrivée. Pour cette version 109, c'est la sécurité de l'utilisateur qui est mise en avant.

En effet, du changement concernant les extensions, le très redouté Manifest v3 est désormais activé par défaut, les extensions déjà compatible avec cette API auront le droit de trôner dans un nouveau bouton "Extensions" disponible dans la barre d'outils du navigateur. Naturellement, les anciennes extensions MV2 seront toujours actif.
De même, une nouvelle protection contre certaines failles de sécurité par code arbitraire a été activée dans le processus de lecture des médias.

Voici la liste complète des modifications par rapport à la version précédente :

The Arbitrary Code Guard exploit protection has been enabled in the media playback utility processes, improving security for Windows users.

Changed

Effective on January 16, Colorways will no longer be in Firefox. Users will still be able to access saved and active Colorways from the Add-ons and themes menu option.
On macOS, Ctrl or Cmd + trackpad or mouse wheel now scrolls the page instead of zooming. This avoids accidental zooming and matches the behavior of other web browsers on macOS.

The empty state messages and graphic components surfaced in Firefox View for the Tab Pickup and Recently Closed sections have been updated for an improved user experience.

The ability to automatically break when code on the page hits an events handler has been available since Firefox 69. Firefox 109 now adds new support for the scrollend event. To use this new event breakpoint, open the JS debugger and find and expand the Event Listener Breakpoints section in the right hand column (learn more).

The scrollend event is now enabled by default. The event is fired when a scroll has completed.
Firefox now permanently partitions Storage in third-party contexts independent of Storage Access to align with other browsers and provide better Web compatibility.
