Mengikuti Googe Chrome dan Microsoft Edge yang juga menghadirkan update versi 109, Firefox yang memiliki engine berbeda dari Chromium juga merilis update versi 109 untuk para pengguna.
Di Firefox 109 ini, ada cukup banyak peningkatan yang dihadirkan, dimana salah satunya mencakup hadirnya dukungan Manifest V3 di Mozilla Firefox.
- Manifest Version 3 (MV3) extension support is now enabled by default (MV2 remains enabled/supported). This major update also ushers an exciting user interface change in the form of the new extensions button.
- The Arbitrary Code Guard exploit protection has been enabled in the media playback utility processes, improving security for Windows users.
- The native HTML date picker for date and datetime inputs can now be used with a keyboard alone, improving its accessibility for screen reader users. Users with limited mobility can also now use common keyboard shortcuts to navigate the calendar grid and month selection spinners.
- Firefox builds in the Spanish from Spain (es-ES) and Spanish from Argentina (es-AR) locales now come with a built-in dictionary for the Firefox spellchecker
Sementara itu, tema colorway yang sudah dijelaskan sebelumnya, kini sudah tidak efektir lagi namun pengguna bisa mendownload tema ini secara terpisah melalui add on menu.
- Effective on January 16, Colorways will no longer be in Firefox. Users will still be able to access saved and active Colorways from the Add-ons and themes menu option.
- On macOS, Ctrl or Cmd + trackpad or mouse wheel now scrolls the page instead of zooming. This avoids accidental zooming and matches the behavior of other web browsers on macOS.
- The Recently Closed section of Firefox View now equips users with the ability to manually close/remove url links from the list.
- The empty state messages and graphic components surfaced in Firefox View for the Tab Pickup and Recently Closed sections have been updated for an improved user experience.
Sedikit kita bahas mengenai hadirnya dukungan Manifest V3, tentu dengan ini nanti Firefox bisa lebih optimal untuk menjalankan extensi dengan basis Manifest V3, sementara itu sejumlah developer saat ini dilaporkan telah memulai migrasi dari Manifest V2 ke Manifest V3 mengingat dukungannya akan segera dihentikan.
Nah untuk kamu pengguna Firefox, kamu bisa langsung saja memperbarui browser kamu ke versi 109, atau kamu bisa mendownload Installer Firefox dari halaman berikut.
