"We suspect that the most visible feature in Firefox 147 is improved Picture-in-Picture video playback. Now it can be triggered automatically when a tab is sent into the background. PIP video appeared some years ago in Firefox 71 on Windows and Firefox 72 on Linux and macOS. Still, some folks will like this - including Daniele Ferla, who developed and contributed the code."
"For Mac types with Apple Silicon ARM64 processors, this release has improved support for the cross-platform WebGPU standard, which first appeared six months ago in Firefox 141. WebGPU, which originated at Apple about nine years ago, lets apps running inside a web page - technically, inside an HTML5 <canvas></canvas> element - use hardware-accelerated 3D via backends such as Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D, and it's intended as a replacement for the older WebGL standard."
Firefox 147 adds automatic Picture-in-Picture video playback that can trigger when a tab is sent to the background. The Tabs page in Settings reorganizes tab preferences into Opening, Interaction, and Closing categories. Apple Silicon (ARM64) Macs receive improved WebGPU support for hardware-accelerated 3D via Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D backends. AMD GPUs gain zero-copy hardware-assisted video playback matching Intel and Nvidia support. Linux gains XDG Base Directory Specification support and sharper image rendering fixes for GNOME/Mutter. Multiple security fixes are included. Safe Browsing support is updated to version 5 with Local List mode.
