Mozilla's Firefox 145 is heeeeeere: Buffs privacy, bloats AI
"Setting aside Mozilla's branding exercises for one moment, we thought we'd start with the modest new features in the release notes. The top feature here is the ability to add and read comments in PDF files. In a previous life, the Reg FOSS desk was a technical writer, and this feature will be very welcome for people collaboratively writing and editing."
"The release notes also highlight better protection against fingerprinting and pop-up summaries of tab groups' contents. The built-in password manager is now accessible from the sidebar, you can share links to just part of the text on web pages, and the automatic translation feature can mirror web content when translating between left-to-right scripts (like anything in the Roman, Cyrillic or Greek alphabets) and right-to-left languages (such as Arabic, Hebrew and Japanese). Readers of digital manga translated into Western scripts may be familiar with this."
Firefox 145 introduces the ability to add and read comments in PDF files, enabling collaborative annotation and editing within the browser. Enhanced anti-fingerprinting measures and pop-up summaries for tab-group contents improve privacy and tab navigation. The built-in password manager gains sidebar access, and users can share links that highlight only a portion of page text. Automatic translation can mirror web layouts when converting between left-to-right and right-to-left scripts, aiding readability for languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Japanese. On Windows, a new desktop launcher can auto-install Firefox when a synced launch icon is used. The update continues to remove 32-bit Linux support.
