Une nouvelle mouture du navigateur Firefox est arrivée. Pour cette version 136, le navigateur améliore certaines fonctions et en propose de nouvelles…
Tout d'abord, C'est l'arrivée de la barre latérale, que l'on a déjà pu voir chez Opera (par exemple), qui permettra d'accéder aux fonctions essentielles du navigateur. Deuxième nouveauté, l'arrivée de la disposition des onglets à la verticale.
Côté améliorations, le chargement des pages par défaut se fera sur HTTPS et basculera sur HTTP qu'en cas de non réponse. Le décodeur HEVC (H.265) est accéléré matériellement sur macOS tandis que sur Linux se sont toutes les videos qui sont décodées matériellement sur les GPUs AMD.
Sur Linux, Firefox est désormais disponible sur la plateforme ARM64 via APT et les archives téléchargeables, les Flatpak arriveront sous peu...
Les développeurs ne sont pas oubliés, une petite liste de nouvelles fonctions désormais supportées est également fournie.
Voici la liste complète des modifications par rapport à la version précédente :
Fixed
- Significantly improved responsiveness on TikTok by improving the speed of date formatting. (Bug 1954323)
Fixed
- Fixed a bug where "Cookies and site data" and "Temporary cached files and pages" were unexpectedly enabled after updating to Firefox 136 for users with "History" and/or "Site settings" set to clear on shutdown in previous versions. (Bug 1952564)Affected users already on Firefox 136 can disable these settings in "Privacy & Security".
- Fixed an issue where the Primary Password prompt appeared in unexpected situations. (Bug 1946121)
- Fixed visibility issues with radio buttons on dark backgrounds. (Bug 1951930)
- Fixed high CPU usage on Windows when the screen was locked or the laptop lid was closed. (Bug 1924932)
Web Platform
- Disabled support for the CookieStore API due to compatibility concerns. The API will be enabled later once the compatibility issues have been addressed.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where a cookie size limit caused problems with website cookie management when using the CookieStore API. This could cause login and other state-related issues. (Bug 1950565)
- Fixed an issue where Control/Command+L did not focus the address bar in new windows. (Bug 1947723)
New
- You can now enable the updated Firefox sidebar in Settings > General > Browser Layout to quickly access multiple tools in one click, without leaving your main view. Sidebar tools include an AI chatbot of your choice, bookmarks, history, and tabs from devices you sync with your Mozilla account.
- Keep a lot of tabs open? Try our new vertical tabs layout to quickly scan your list of tabs. With vertical tabs, your open and pinned tabs appear in the sidebar instead of along the top of the browser. To turn on vertical tabs, right-click on the toolbar near the top of the browser and select Turn on Vertical Tabs. If you’ve enabled the updated sidebar, you can also go to Customize sidebar and check Vertical tabs. Early testers report feeling more organized after using vertical tabs for a few days.
- The Clear browsing data and cookies dialog now allows clearing saved form info separately from browsing history.
- Smartblock Embeds allows users to selectively unblock certain social media embeds that are blocked in ETP Strict and Private Browsing modes. Currently, support is limited to a few embed types, with more to be added in future updates.
- Firefox now upgrades page loads to HTTPS by default and gracefully falls back to HTTP if the secure connection fails. This behavior is known as HTTPS-First.
- On macOS, some background tabs will be moved to lower power cores, reducing energy usage.
- Hardware-accelerated playback of HEVC video content is now supported on macOS.
- Hardware video decoding is now enabled for AMD GPUs on Linux.
- On Linux, Firefox is now available on ARM64 (AArch64), with installation options via APT and tarballs. Flatpak support is coming soon.
- The Weather forecast on the New Tab page is expanding to additional regions, including Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, as part of an ongoing regional rollout.
- Address autofill enabled for users in the United Kingdom
Fixed

- Added support for the CSS :open pseudo-class for styling elements that can be toggled “open” to display more content.

- The value
plaintext-only
