The release of the Firefox 98 web browser has taken place. Additionally, an update for the long-term support branch \u2014 91.7.0 has been formed. The Firefox 99 branch has entered the beta testing stage, with a release scheduled for April 5. <\/p>\n
Key innovations: <\/p>\n
\n
File download behavior has been changed \u2014 instead of displaying a prompt before starting the download, files now begin downloading automatically, and a notification appears in the panel indicating the start of the download. Through the panel, users can get information about the download process at any moment, open the downloading file during the download (this action will be performed after the download is complete), or delete the file. The settings provide the option to enable prompts for each download and to set a default application for opening specific types of files.
<\/center>\n
New actions have been added to the context menu displayed when right-clicking on files in the download list. For example, with the 'Always Open Similar Files' option, you can allow Firefox to automatically open a file after it has been downloaded in the application associated with the same file type on the system. You can also open the directory with the downloaded files, go to the page from which the download was initiated (not the download itself, but the download link), copy the link, remove the download mention from the browsing history, and clear the list in the downloads panel.

For some users, the default search engine has been changed. For example, in the tested English-language build, DuckDuckGo has now been enforced as the default instead of Google. However, Google remains listed among the search engines as an option and can be set as the default in settings. The reason for the enforced change in the default search engine is cited as the inability to continue supplying handlers for some search engines due to the lack of formal permission. The deal with Google for transferring search traffic was in effect until August 2023 and brought in approximately $400 million per year, which constitutes a significant portion of Mozilla's revenue.
<\/center>\n
The default settings show a new section with experimental features that users can test at their own risk. For example, available for testing is the caching feature for the homepage, SameSite=Lax and SameSite=None modes, CSS Masonry Layout, additional panels for web developers, setting Firefox 100 in the User-Agent header, and global indicators for muting audio and microphone.
<\/center>\n
To optimize the browser startup process, the logic for loading extensions that use the webRequest API has been changed. Only blocking webRequest calls will cause extensions to load during Firefox's startup. Access to webRequest in non-blocking mode will be deferred until Firefox has finished starting.\n
