Firefox's biggest visual refresh in years is now available, with a modernized look across the browser toolbars, sidebar, menus and individual features, built with our updated design system. It also includes:
WebRTC video calls can now use hardware AV1 decoding on devices that support it, instead of always decoding AV1 video in software.
Firefox now shows a warning in the site information panel (the shield icon in the address bar) and in Settings when it has been set up to record its encryption keys, which could let other software on the computer read encrypted web traffic.
Firefox Suggest now offers suggestions in the address bar in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. They can be controlled in the Firefox Suggest settings. Learn more.
Fixed video from phones and tablets appearing sideways or upside down in WebRTC calls.
Fixed the address bar searching for the typed text instead of opening the selected suggestion when a page was still loading, such as shortly after Firefox started.
Fixed some HDR videos encoded in 8-bit color formats looking dull and gray on Windows instead of displaying in HDR.
Improved audio and video synchronization when repeatedly changing the playback speed of videos, for example on YouTube.
Fixed the Vertical Tabs sidebar not reappearing when the cursor moves to the edge of the screen in full screen mode.
Fixed an issue on Windows where making a video full screen would leave the Windows taskbar showing over the video.
Various security fixes.
Pressing Tab now moves focus straight to the text field of the address bar and search bar instead of stopping on the search engine button first. The button can still be reached with Shift+Tab.
Amazon is no longer included as a built-in search engine. It can still be added as a custom search engine in the search settings. Learn more.
The updated sidebar is now enabled for everyone. Anyone still using the previous sidebar will keep a similar layout, with the panel switcher at the top of the sidebar. Additionally, the βShow sidebarβ option has been removed from Settings.
While we continue to refine the new design, the previous sidebar version can still be restored by setting sidebar.revamp to false in about:config. This also turns off vertical tabs. The preference will remain available until the end of 2027.
Web page alert(), confirm() and prompt() dialogs, the color and date pickers, and form autocomplete drop-downs now match the page's light or dark color scheme.
You can find information about policy updates and enterprise-specific bug fixes in the Firefox for Enterprise 157 Release Notes.
Firefox now supports the at-rule() function for @supports. This allows authors to detect browser support for specific at-rules, such as @supports at-rule(@scope).
Firefox now supports the chain value for the CSS overscroll-behavior property.
With the release of Firefox 157, we are pleased to welcome the developers who contributed their first code change to Firefox in this release, 21 of whom were brand new volunteers! Please join us in thanking each of these diligent and enthusiastic individuals, and take a look at their contributions:

β
Welcome to the first beta for the 5.2 update! This new version has new effects and also has a big focus on performance, quality-of-life, and infrastructure improvements which prepare for the big 6.0 version that will be coming later. The two biggest changes are the new FileType plugin system and the rewritten high-precision layer rendering engine. There are also 8 new effects and very experimental support for running on Wine (Linux/Mac), which weβll get to later.
New FileType Plugin System
The original FileType plugin system dates back to 2005 with the v2.5 release. It has withstood the test of time in the sense that it still works and has provided a lot of value for a lot of people, but it has also noticeably aged poorly in ways that have prevented progress in other areas of the app. It was written at a time when .NET itself was just 3 years old and hitting its 2.0 release with generics and 64-bit support. The modern systems used in Paint.NET for component management and isolation were nowhere to be found back then. I had no clue that the projectβs longevity would stretch so far into the future, nor that so many plugins would be developed!
The old FileType plugin system is tightly coupled with the Document, Layer, and Surface classes which Paint.NET also uses internally for UI and rendering purposes. They only support the 32-bit BGRA UI8 pixel format and a flat list of bitmap layers. The new FileType system works through interfaces such as IFileTypeDocument<TPixel> and ILayer<TPixel>, along with a rich and strongly-typed imaging framework providing support for a wide variety of pixel formats, pooled bitmap allocation, scaling/interpolation, quantization/dithering, format conversion, color management, and more.
Decoupling the FileType system from the internal classes means that these two systems can now evolve independently, and internal details can be abstracted away from plugins. The new plugin system has been designed to support versioning, meaning that functionality can be added or changed in the programming interfaces that are provided to plugins while maintaining compatibility for plugins that have already been published. New layer types and topologies (e.g. layer folders) can be added without breaking existing plugins, new blend modes can be introduced, and bitmap layers can finally be migrated to a tiled storage system.
Note to plugin authors: In general, plugins should provide pixel data in the image fileβs original format without converting it to BGRA32. In other words, let Paint.NET handle the conversion, whether youβre supplying pixels as RGBA64, BGR24, or even an HDR format such as RGBA FP16. Paint.NET will figure out the best conversion for pixel format and color profile handling, and when expanded pixel format support is rolled out your plugin can automatically benefit from it. Note that plugins can query at runtime which pixel formats are supported and which are native, in case they do want to do the conversion themselves for whatever reason.
New Layer Rendering Engine
The old layer rendering engine has its roots going all the way back to the 1.0 release in 2004. Over the years it has migrated from C# to C for performance reasons, and then back to C# once the language and .NETβs JIT had finally caught up to (and surpassed!) the performance of the native C compilerβs code generation. However, it has no SIMD optimizations, it only has 8 bits per channel of precision (βUI8β), and the code was very messy and difficult to make changes to. Working with many layers can result in incorrect colors or banding artifacts as off-by-1 errors accumulate across multiple layers.Β
With 5.2, this has been completely rewritten and upgraded to use 32-bits of floating-point precision per channel (βFP32β). It is fully optimized for AVX2, AVX512, and even ARM64 NEON thanks to .NETβs new platform-agnostic intrinsics support. Because FP32 uses a lot more memory bandwidth than UI8, many tricks have been employed to optimize that to the point that there is no perceptible performance reduction from previous versions (the old renderer not using any SIMD also helps this comparison). The bottleneck is compute, not memory bandwidth, and performance really shines on CPUs with AVX512 support (e.g. AMD Zen 5) even with standard dual channel memory.
A driving factor behind this change was to prepare for future versions of Paint.NET that will expand pixel format support beyond BGRA UI8. In order to do this in a sane and maintainable manner, having a canonical pixel format became important so that each rendering kernel only needs to be written once. All of the rendering kernels can now operate exclusively on FP32 data, with high-performance format conversion and color transform kernels at the beginning and end of the rendering pipeline. This will make it much easier to add application-level support for RGBA UI16, RGBA FP16, and even RGBA FP32 β the layer rendering engine already supports it, the rest of the app just has to catch up.
New Effects
This release adds 8 new effects. These fill in the Artistic submenu, add some new dithering capabilities, two new distortion effects, and finally support for high-quality halftoning.
Examples of each new effect:
Original
Linocut
Mosaic
Pointilism
Stained Glass
Ordered Dither
Spherize
Waves
Halftone
Experimental Wine Support
NOTE: This is not for the faint of heart! It is very much experimental and targeted towards early adopters who arenβt afraid of missing functionality, performance issues, crashes, and wrestling with dependencies.
Iβve recently made major progress getting Paint.NET working on top of Wine, which means Paint.NET can now finally run on Linux and Mac. This was first made available as part of 5.2 Alpha (build 9739) and has now been moved into its own package that you can download from a separate GitHub page with its own Releases page and Issues tracker. Updates will be independent(-ish) of the main Windows packages, at least for the foreseeable future. Each new Windows release will be accompanied by a corresponding Wine release so that it doesnβt fall behind in functionality.
Whatβs coming in 6.0?
The next big update will introduce a new .PDN file format that will finally enable the ability to add new features to the document and layering systems. High bit-depth pixel formats, new blend modes, and layer folders are planned to be the first use of this. Later on, features such as adjustment layers, text layers, and HDR are also planned (to name just a few).
