The release of the Firefox 160 web browser has taken place, and updates for the previous long-term support branches 153.7.0 and 115.45.0 have been formed. Within the framework of the new bi-weekly release cycle, the Firefox 161 branch has been moved to the beta testing stage, with its release scheduled for November 24. <\/p>\n
Key innovations in Firefox 160 (1, 2, 3):<\/p>\n
\n
The ability to detach a tab or any selected area on the page in the form of a mini-window has been added, placed over the content. The address bar in the mini-window is automatically hidden and is displayed only when the cursor hovers over the title. Multiple mini-windows can be opened simultaneously. Mini-windows are created through context menus that appear when right-clicking on a tab (Move Tab -> Move to Mini Window) or the page content (Move Section to Mini Window). This mode is conveniently used to keep another piece of content in view while working on the page.\n

The ability to open new tabs by dragging items from the sidebar with browsing history into the tab area has been added.\n
In the context menu of the address bar, the 'Paste and Go' item is now replaced with 'Paste and Search' if the clipboard contains text instead of a link.\n
In the confirmation dialog for sites' requests to connect as handlers for email and other types of links, a 'Never allow' button has been implemented to subsequently block similar repeated requests from the site.\n
Support for audio playback in FLAC, MP3, and PCM formats supplied in MKV (Matroska) media containers has been added.\n
The Metal graphics API has been utilized for WebGL rendering on macOS.\n
The Web Speech API has been enhanced with the SpeechRecognition object for real-time speech recognition without reliance on external services, supporting 40 languages.\n
For compatibility with some sites, a pseudo-element '::-webkit-input-placeholder' has been added, which is functionally similar to '::placeholder'.\n
In the WebTransport() constructor, the 'headers' option has been implemented to add custom HTTP headers to extended CONNECT requests. The WebTransportDatagramDuplexStream interface has been enriched with incomingMaxBufferedDatagrams and outgoingMaxBufferedDatagrams properties, while the WebTransport interface has received additional properties. \nanticipatedConcurrentIncomingUnidirectionalStreams and anticipatedConcurrentIncomingBidirectionalStreams.<\/p>\n
