  • Fixed an extra blank tab with an address of https://0.0.0.1 sometimes appearing when attempting to launch Firefox when it is already running (bug 1892612).
  • Fixed an issue that could cause incorrect font selection in some situations for users with the Japanese locale set (bug 1892363).
  • Fixed text corruption when dragging text containing unicode characters on Linux systems (bug 1888202).
  • Fixed a correctness error when checking arguments.length (and not using arguments otherwise) inside of a generator or async function (bug 1892699).
  • Fixed an issue that could lead to inconsistent focus handling of <select> elements when opened (bug 1893177).

Firefox 126.0 official release later today:
  • The Copy Without Site Tracking option can now remove parameters from nested URLs. It also includes expanded support for blocking over 300 tracking parameters from copied links, including those from major shopping websites. Keep those trackers away when sharing links!

  • Firefox now supports Content-encoding: zstd (zstandard compression). This is an alternative to broti and gzip compression for web content, and can provide higher compression levels for the same CPU used, or conversely lower server CPU use to get the same compression. This is heavily used on sites such as Facebook.
  • Catalan is now available in Firefox Translations.
  • Enabled AV1 hardware decode acceleration on macOS for M3 Macs.
  • Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as "sports,” "business," and "travel". This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove IP addresses as potentially identifying metadata. No profiling will be performed, and no data will be shared with third parties. (read more)

I wonder if there is some way to add tab grouping, spaces (like in Opera) or something like that to Firefox? I just don't understand how to work with multiple tabs in it. After Opera, it looks like I'm back in the 90s.

UPD: Ok, I found Simple Tab Groups - it gives at least a basic convenience.
