Firefox

New

  • Address autofill has been enabled for users in Switzerland.

  • WebGPU support is now enabled for devices with Apple Silicon processors on all supported macOS versions.

  • Improved video playback performance on systems with AMD GPUs by enabling zero-copy playback for hardware-decoded video where supported, bringing them to parity with Intel and NVIDIA GPUs.

  • Firefox now supports the Safe Browsing V5 protocol and is migrating from Safe Browsing V4 to the local list mode of Safe Browsing V5 protocol.

  • Users with Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) set to Strict will have local network access restrictions enabled by default. Firefox will now require users to explicitly allow public websites to access local network resources.

    This feature is part of a progressive roll out.

    What is a progressive roll out?

    Certain new Firefox features are released gradually. This means some users will see the feature before everyone does. This approach helps to get early feedback to catch bugs and improve behavior quickly, meaning more Firefox users overall have a better experience.

  • Firefox now allows you to customize your keyboard shortcuts to replace hard-to-type or hard-to-remember hotkeys, eliminate conflicts with other software, and create your preferred set. Access this experimental new feature by typing about:keyboard in the address bar and please share your feedback with us on Mozilla Connect!

  • Firefox now supports the Freedesktop.org XDG Base Directory Specification.

  • A Picture-in-Picture player window can now optionally be opened automatically for a video playing in a tab when that tab goes into the background. A special thanks to volunteer Daniele Ferla for contributing this feature!

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue that prevented some Windows users from selecting a tab when the cursor was at the top of the screen and the Firefox window was maximized.

  • Fixed a bug that made HTTP/3 requests containing non-UTF-8 header values time out or fall back to HTTP/2 after a while.

  • A draggable button can now be dragged if initiated from the button itself.

  • For Linux GNOME Mutter users, window and rendering surface sizes were updated to match the actual pixel grid so Firefox delivers sharp rendering on fractionally scaled displays regardless of the actual window size.

  • Various security fixes.

Changed

  • Firefox now uses the same quality values (q-values) in Accept-Language headers as other major browsers. The second language preference is now sent as q=0.9 instead of q=0.5, with subsequent language preferences decreasing by 0.1 each (minimum 0.1). This change fixes compatibility issues with some servers that incorrectly rejected requests with lower quality values.

Enterprise

Developer

  • View Transitions: View transition pseudo-elements now appear in the elements panel and the associated animations appear in the animations panel.

  • Anchor positioning: Elements with a valid anchor-name are given an 'anchor' badge in the elements view, and @position-try CSS rules are now displayed in the CSS rules panel when an element using position-try-fallbacks is selected.

  • The JSON viewer now has a button to import the resource into Firefox Profiler to get a breakdown of its size.

  • Pseudo-element selectors can now be added/edited in the CSS rules panel.

Web Platform

  • Added support for the Navigation API. This API provides the ability to initiate, intercept, and manage browser navigation actions. It is a successor to previous web platform features such as the History API and window.location, which solves their shortcomings.

  • The Unicode ICU library was updated to release 78, bringing support for Unicode 17 and new locales.

  • ES modules in service workers are now supported, aligning Firefox with other major browsers and improving compatibility for modern web apps.

  • Support for CSS Module Scripts was added, allowing stylesheets to be imported using the JavaScript module system and import attributes.

  • The CSS counter-* and quotes properties are now supported in the ::marker pseudo-element.

  • Both CompressionStream and DecompressionStream now support the Brotli format.

  • Firefox now supports the :active-view-transition-type selector and associated View Transitions API changes.

  • Firefox now exposes the view transition currently active on the document via the Document.activeViewTransition property.

  • Support for CSS anchor positioning was added, enabling tethering elements. The anchor-positioned elements can then have their size and position set relative to the anchor elements to which they are bound.

  • Firefox now supports Storage-Access-Headers, allowing servers to opt into unpartitioned cookies via HTTP headers if storage-access was granted prior to the Storage Access API.

  • Implemented CSS root-font-relative units rcap, rch, rex and ric.

Partner update: HELTUN removed from Works with Home Assistant

13 Januari 2026 om 01:00
Partner update: HELTUN removed from Works with Home Assistant

Last month – and indeed last year! – we published a blog recapping the highlights from the Works with Home Assistant program in 2025. As with any certification program, our partnerships evolve: some start anew, some grow bigger and stronger, and some naturally run their course. In the interest of visibility for our community, we want to share an update about one such change. When a partner leaves the program, we believe it’s important to document this openly so you get the full picture.

Why we’re making a change

Despite reaching out to HELTUN multiple times during 2025 to discuss renewing their Works with Home Assistant contract with the Open Home Foundation, we haven’t been able to connect. As their previous contract has now lapsed, we’re formally removing HELTUN from the Works with Home Assistant program.

We have no specific issues with the HELTUN devices, and hope they will continue to be compatible with Home Assistant – as Z-Wave devices operate on an open standard, they should continue to function. However, without a contract, HELTUN has no formal obligation to provide ongoing support, such as firmware updates via Z-Wave JS.

This is an example of why the contract is more than just paperwork. It’s intrinsic to the badging as it outlines, in a legal and binding document, our partners’ commitment to the community, keeping devices working long-term, and the values we all care about. Without it, we can’t maintain certification.

What happens now

HELTUN’s integration page will now be removed from the partner filter, and an update has been published on our original HELTUN launch blog stating that the information is no longer applicable. They are now also prohibited from using the Works with badge on relevant marketing materials.

As we have no problems with the devices themselves, we will be happy to welcome HELTUN back into the program should they wish to re-engage in the future.

Looking ahead

In more positive news, don’t forget we’ve introduced an up-to-date list of all certified devices from our current Works with partners to help guide your purchasing decisions – and watch this space for details of more brands joining us in 2026!

Change Log for Release asterisk-certified-20.7-cert8

Links:

Summary:

  • Commits: 7
  • Commit Authors: 3
  • Issues Resolved: 7
  • Security Advisories Resolved: 0

User Notes:

  • res_sorcery_memory_cache: Reduce cache lock time for sorcery memory cache populate command

    The AMI command sorcery memory cache populate will now
    return an error if there is an internal error performing the populate.
    The CLI command will display an error in this case as well.

  • res_geolocation: Fix multiple issues with XML generation.

    Geolocation: Two new optional profile parameters have been added.

    • pidf_element_id which sets the value of the id attribute on the top-level
      PIDF-LO device, person or tuple elements.
    • device_id which sets the content of the <deviceID> element.
      Both parameters can include channel variables.

Upgrade Notes:

  • res_geolocation: Fix multiple issues with XML generation.

    Geolocation: In order to correct bugs in both code and
    documentation, the following changes to the parameters for GML geolocation
    locations are now in effect:
    • The documented but unimplemented crs (coordinate reference system) element
      has been added to the location_info parameter that indicates whether the 2d
      or 3d reference system is to be used. If the crs isn't valid for the shape
      specified, an error will be generated. The default depends on the shape
      specified.
    • The Circle, Ellipse and ArcBand shapes MUST use a 2d crs. If crs isn't
      specified, it will default to 2d for these shapes.
      The Sphere, Ellipsoid and Prism shapes MUST use a 3d crs. If crs isn't
      specified, it will default to 3d for these shapes.
      The Point and Polygon shapes may use either crs. The default crs is 2d
      however so if 3d positions are used, the crs must be explicitly set to 3d.
    • The geoloc show gml_shape_defs CLI command has been updated to show which
      coordinate reference systems are valid for each shape.
    • The pos3d element has been removed in favor of allowing the pos element
      to include altitude if the crs is 3d. The number of values in the pos
      element MUST be 2 if the crs is 2d and 3 if the crs is 3d. An error
      will be generated for any other combination.
    • The angle unit-of-measure for shapes that use angles should now be included
      in the respective parameter. The default is degrees. There were some
      inconsistent references to orientation_uom in some documentation but that
      parameter never worked and is now removed. See examples below.
      Examples...
      location_info = shape="Sphere", pos="39.0 -105.0 1620", radius="20"
      location_info = shape="Point", crs="3d", pos="39.0 -105.0 1620"
      location_info = shape="Point", pos="39.0 -105.0"
      location_info = shape=Ellipsoid, pos="39.0 -105.0 1620", semiMajorAxis="20"
                    semiMinorAxis="10", verticalAxis="0", orientation="25 degrees"
      pidf_element_id = ${CHANNEL(name)}-${EXTEN}
      device_id = mac:001122334455
      Set(GEOLOC_PROFILE(pidf_element_id)=${CHANNEL(name)}/${EXTEN})
