Version 105.0, first offered to Release channel users on September 20, 2022
New
- Added an option to print only the current page from the print preview dialog.
- Firefox now supports partitioned service workers in third-party contexts. You can register service workers in a third-party iframe and it will be partitioned under the top-level domain.
- Swipe to navigate (two fingers on a touchpad swiped left or right to perform history back or forward) on Windows is now enabled.
- Firefox is now compliant with the User Timing L3 specification, which adds additional optional arguments to the performance.mark and performance.measure methods to provide custom start times, end times, duration, and attached details.
- Searching in large lists for individual items is now 2x faster. This performance enhancement replaces array.includes and array.indexOf with an optimized SIMD version.
Fixed
- Stability on Windows is significantly improved as Firefox handles low-memory situations much better.
- Touchpad scrolling on macOS was made more accessible by reducing unintended diagonal scrolling opposite of the intended scroll axis.
- Firefox is less likely to run out of memory on Linux and performs more efficiently for the rest of the system when memory runs low.
- Various security fixes.
Enterprise
Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the latest version of Firefox. You can find more information in the Firefox for Enterprise 105 Release Notes.
Developer
Web Platform
Support for the Offscreen Canvas DOM API with full context and font support. The OffscreenCanvas API provides a canvas that can be rendered off-screen in both Window and Web Worker contexts.
Swipe to navigate (two fingers on a touchpad swiped left or right to perform history back or forward) on Windows is now enabled.
Anyone knows about this on Linux? Maybe an option in
about:config
?It’s going to most likely come to Linux in Firefox 106. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1790580
But it has worked since 103, just disabled by default. So, maybe if you set
widget.disable-swipe-tracker
flag tofalse
it will work.Nice, thanks!
Np :)
Unfortunately it seems that this isn’t enabling the
browser.gesture.swipe.*
preferences which allow you to customize what swiping does. I really miss my swipe up to close gesture but this seems only to work on macOS.…or maybe GNOME is just stealing my 3-finger gestures.
