๐ Firefox 156 arrives with a mix of practical upgrades. The built-in PDF viewer now opens about 45% faster, while large JPEG images should put less strain on memory and CPU, which is good news for budget laptops and older machines. Windows ARM64 users also get hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding in WebRTC calls, and macOS users can now set Firefox to launch automatically after startup.
On Android, Firefox adds a built-in VPN with 50 GB of monthly data for some users, plus easier media scrubbing from notifications and extra options in the share menu, including tab sharing and QR scanning. Under the hood, Mozilla fixed 74 vulnerabilities, many tied to memory bugs that could be exploited by malicious pages.
