Firefox 154.0.1 is now available as a maintenance release, introducing six fixes:
- Fixed issues that caused slow access to saved passwords and unnecessary prompting to enter a master password to unlock the password vault.
- Fixed a bug that prevented address autocomplete from working on some websites.
- Resolved an issue that caused HTTP connections to devices on the local network to fail without first prompting for access confirmation.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when opening intranet sites that linked to files on local network storage.
- Specific issues have been resolved Windows Issues that resulted in shortcuts being added repeatedly to the start menu and tab titles being incorrectly cut off when the MS UI Gothic font was set in the system.
Additionally, Mozilla developers have decided to enable JPEG-XL image decoding support by default in Firefox 157. Firefox 157 is scheduled for release on September 29th. Like Chrome, Firefox's JPEG-XL implementation is based on the jxl-rs library, written in Rust. JPEG XL enables file size reductions of up to 60% compared to JPEG images of identical quality. Supported advanced features include HDR, animation, transparency, progressive download mode, smooth quality degradation with reduced bitrate, lossless JPEG compression, support for up to 4099 channels, and a wide range of color depths.
