Firefox 122 Now Offered With Official Debian Package, Numerous Web Enhancements
Today marks the initial Mozilla Firefox feature release of 2024, presenting a considerable number of new additions in the newly-published Firefox 122.
Firefox 122 can now showcase images and descriptions for search suggestions when provided by the search engine, the line breaking rules of web content now match the Unicode standard, the local translations capability is now much better off than in prior versions, various new CSS features are supported, several security enhancements, and enabling Uneven Level Protection Forward Error Correction (ULPFEC) by default. The ULPFEC support can enhance video quality for users on spotty Internet connections when using WebRTC video services.
For Android users of Firefox, there is now support for enabling the Global Privacy Control, the ability to set the browser as the default PDF reader, and continued work on reducing user fingerprinting information from Android devices.
Also new with Firefox 122.0 is Mozilla offering an official Debian package alongside their generic Linux builds. This accompanies Mozilla’s recent introduction of a Debian APT repository for Firefox updates.
Firefox 122 builds are currently accessible from Mozilla.org.
