Adjusted clipping behavior for floating point audio when using volume boost. Should fix quality issues in some cases.
Added warning prompt to boost that informs users about a better solution for the common issue of "voices are too quiet", which is to enable mixing in the audio decoder (and adjust center mix level).

Fixes:
Fixed a dragging issue with the exclusive mode seekbar.
Fixed an issue with DRM video playback on some sites caused by the general availability rollout of Microsoft's PlayReady hardware decryption DRM support in Firefox 137. PlayReady support is now limited to specific sites while broader compatibility continues to be tested. (Bug 1959827)
Due to recent changes in Chrome on Windows, some users might find that the Firefox migration wizard no longer successfully imports passwords from Chrome or Chrome-based browsers. As a workaround, you can export your passwords as a CSV file from Chrome and then import them into Firefox using either the migration wizard or the Firefox password manager.
Fixed an issue where folder shortcuts on Windows were incorrectly treated as files during file uploads, preventing selecting files within the target folder. (Bug 1958222)
Fixed a crash experienced by Windows users when downloading files with Qihoo 360 Total Security Antivirus software installed. (Bug 1958112)

Tab groups begin rolling out today! Stay productive and organized with less effort by grouping related tabs together. One simple way to create a group is to drag a tab onto another, pause until you see a highlight, then drop to create the group. Groups can be named, color-coded, and are always saved. You can close a group and reopen it later.
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

Firefox Address Bar Refresh 2025 - new ways to search for things new, previously viewed, and more - all from the address bar:
Features
Unified Search Button: A new, easy-to-access button in the address bar helps you switch between search engines and search modes with ease. This feature brings the simplicity of mobile Firefox to your desktop experience.
Search Term Persistence: Now when you refine a search in the address bar, the original term sticks around, making it easier to adjust your queries and find exactly what you're looking for.
Secondary Action Buttons: Suggestions for common Firefox features.
Contextual Search Mode: Firefox detects if you are on a page that has search capability and offers that option for you to directly search with the page engine from the address bar. Use this option at least 2 times and Firefox will suggest adding the search engine to your Firefox.
Contextual Search Engine Options: Use a Contextual Search mode option at least 2 times and Firefox will suggest adding the search engine to your Firefox so that itβs always available to you.
Intuitive Search Keywords: You can access various address bar search modes with convenient and descriptive keywords (e.g. @bookmarks,@tabs,@history, @actions).
