    Firefox 96 first offered to Release channel users on January 11, 2022

    Firefox 96.0, See All New Features, Updates and Fixes (mozilla.org)

    New

    • We’ve made significant improvements in noise-suppression and auto-gain-control as well as slight improvements in echo-cancellation to provide you with a better overall experience.

    • We’ve also significantly reduced main-thread load.

    • Firefox will now enforce the Cookie Policy: Same-Site=lax by default which provides a solid first line of defense against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.

     

     

    Fixed

    • On macOS, command-clicking links in Gmail now opens them in a new tab as expected

    • Our newest release fixes an issue where video intermittently drops SSRC.

    • It also fixes an issue where WebRTC downgrades screen sharing resolution to provide you with a clearer browsing experience.

    • Plus, we’ve fixed video quality degradation issues on certain sites.

    • Detached video in fullscreen on macOS has been temporarily disabled to avoid some issues with corruption, brightness changes, missing subtitles and high cpu usage.

    • Various security fixes
