The most noteworthy improvement of Firefox Browser 140 is that it supports manual Unload tabs. Users can now right-click any tab (or multiple selected tabs) and select Uninstall tabs, which can free up memory and CPU resources without losing tab location.

For users who use vertical tabs, the latest version allows to resize the fixed tab area by simply dragging the separator, providing more (or less) space for frequently used tabs.

In addition, the “Extension” button can be completely removed from the toolbar to make the interface more neat and users can still access the extension through the Firefox menu. Users can also add custom search engines directly by right-clicking on the website search field or manually entering the search URL in the settings.

In terms of privacy protection,AndroidFirefox’s locked private tab page can now be encrypted with fingerprint or device credentials. Private Browsing Mode now supports Service Workers, allowing websites that rely on backend tasks to have better functionality while maintaining encrypted storage.

In terms of full-page translation function, Firefox 140 will prioritize the content before and after the user’s current view, skip text off-screen, and perform translation operations after the user scrolls to the relevant content, reducing unnecessary resource usage.

In terms of accessibility, Firefox 140 supports aria-keyshortcuts across Linux, macOS, and Windows, as well as a new custom highlighting API that supports developers to style specific text ranges.

For developers, Firefox 140 updates the symbol escapes in HTML attributes at the bottom to mitigate potential mXSS attacks; in addition, it supports the CookieStore API for asynchronous processing. and pointerrawupdate events for high-precision, low-latency pointer tracking.
