Mozilla today released the latest version of its flagship web browser, Firefox 96, adding several new features and fixes.

New features include:

• Significant improvements in noise suppression and auto-gain-control as well as slight improvements in echo-cancellation to provide users with a better overall audio experience.
• Significantly reduced main-thread load.
• Firefox now provides a solid first line of defense against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks by enforcing the “Cookie Policy: Same-Site=lax” policy by default

Fixes include:

• On macOS, command-clicking links in Gmail now opens them in a new tab as expected.
• Fixes an issue where video intermittently drops SSRC.
• Fixes an issue where WebRTC downgrades screen sharing resolution to provide users with a clearer browsing experience.
• Fixes video quality degradation issues on certain sites.
• Detached video in full screen on macOS has been temporarily disabled to avoid some issues with corruption, brightness changes, missing subtitles, and high CPU usage.
• Various security fixes.

You can download Firefox 96 from the Mozilla website.
