A corrective release of Firefox 126.0.1 is available, addressing several issues:
- Issues with the drag and drop mechanism on the Linux platform have been resolved. After upgrading to Firefox 126, tab, highlighted text, image, link, and other object dragging with the mouse stopped working in some configurations.
- A memory leak leading to high memory consumption by the GPU interaction process has been fixed on systems with certain AMD GPU variants, such as the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and AMD Ryzen 7840HS.
- An error that prevented reading tagged PDF documents in screen readers has been corrected.
- In builds for macOS on systems with non-English locales, Firefox 126 experienced issues displaying localized text in crash report dialogs.
Additionally, an announcement about the reorganization of management within Mozilla has been highlighted, aimed at simplifying and accelerating development and scaling new products at various stages of their creation. New products and ideas being developed by different teams (like Fakespot, PXI, Mozilla Social, and Innovation Ecosystems) have been placed directly under the leadership of the Senior Vice President for New Products (Adam Fishman), reporting directly to the CEO of Mozilla Corporation. The separation of processes related to Firefox development is also mentioned, allowing for greater focus on enhancing browser capabilities and accelerating the development of improvements that enhance user-friendliness, such as the recently introduced features for vertical tab placement, tab grouping, and quick switching between profiles.
