I am slowly liking FF less and less. Well done Mozilla, great work!

I have the Bookmark button displayed on the toolbar. After this update, if I click the Bookmarks button and scroll down the bookmarks and open one, then open a new tab I have to scroll down the bookmarks to find the next one I want to open. Until this update, if I scrolled down the bookmarks next time I clicked the bookmarks button it would remember where I was last time, so no scrolling.

I hope that makes sense.

Same story in FF 111.0.

I see they changed the popup that opens from that button so I'm not surprised. I still don't hate it myself but it should be optional for those that do.

the old menu/button did not respect mv3 extensions and some more, they new button does. its not only design. switching between both was removed now.
as usual users can modify design with userChrome.css

Mozilla launched Firefox 111.0 earlier this week. It was a smaller update for the supported desktop platforms that introduced native notifications support on Windows.

The release notes contained just four entries, one of which highlighted an improvement for Firefox Relay users. Firefox Relay is a standalone service that is available as a free, limited, version and a premium version. It enables its users to create email aliases to improve privacy and combat spam.

Mozilla plans to release a new stable version of its Firefox web browser later today. Firefox 111.0.1 is the first point release of Firefox 111, the latest stable version of the open source web browser.

The new Firefox release fixes a single issue in the browser, one that affects just a tiny fraction of the overall Firefox population. Most Firefox users should not be in a hurry to download the update to their devices because of this.

Ah, so that's why it was updated on Windows too.

Fixed a bug causing Firefox to freeze on startup for some Windows users (bug 1823159).

Krusty, I was surprised too because the Ghacks article mentioned this:

Firefox 111.0.1 addresses a crash that affects the browser on macOS devices only. Mozilla reveals in the release notes that Firefox may crash on macOS "while pinch-zooming under certain circumstances".

Letting users block injected third-party DLLs in Firefox
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2023/03/letting-users-block-injected-third-party-dlls-in-firefox/

In Firefox 110, users now have the ability to control which third-party DLLs are allowed to load into Firefox processes.

Let’s talk about what this means and when it might be useful.

What is third-party DLL injection?
On Windows, third-party products have a variety of ways to inject their code into other running processes. This is done for a number of reasons; the most common is for antivirus software, but other uses include hardware drivers, screen readers, banking (in some countries) and, unfortunately, malware.

Having a DLL from a third-party product injected into a Firefox process is surprisingly common – according to our telemetry, over 70% of users on Windows have at least one such DLL! (to be clear, this means any DLL not digitally signed by Mozilla or part of the OS).

Most users are unaware when DLLs are injected into Firefox, as most of the time there’s no obvious indication this is happening, other than checking the about:third-party page.

Unfortunately, having DLLs injected into Firefox can lead to performance, security, or stability problems. This is for a number of reasons:

DLLs will often hook into internal Firefox functions, which are subject to change from release to release. We make no special effort to maintain the behavior of internal functions (of which there are thousands), so the publisher of the third-party product has to be diligent about testing with new versions of Firefox to avoid stability problems.

Firefox, being a web browser, loads and runs code from untrusted and potentially hostile websites. Knowing this, we go to a lot of effort to keep Firefox secure; see, for example, the Site Isolation Security Architecture and Improved Process Isolation. Third-party products may not have the same focus on security.

We run an extensive number of tests on Firefox, and third-party products may not test to that extent since they’re probably not designed to work specifically with Firefox.

Indeed, our data shows that just over 2% of all Firefox crash reports on Windows are in third-party code. This is despite the fact that Firefox already blocks a number of specific third-party DLLs that are known to cause a crash (see below for details).

This also undercounts crashes that are caused indirectly by third-party DLLs, since our metrics only look for third-party DLLs directly in the call stack. Additionally, third-party DLLs are a bit more likely to cause crashes at startup, which are much more serious for users.

Firefox has a third-party injection policy, and whenever possible we recommend third parties instead use extensions to integrate into Firefox, as this is officially supported and much more stable.

Why not block all DLL injection by default?
For maximum stability and performance, Firefox could try to block all third-party DLLs from being injected into its processes. However, this would break some useful products like screen readers that users want to be able to use with Firefox. This would also be technically challenging and it would probably be impossible to block every third-party DLL, especially third-party products that run with higher privilege than Firefox.

Since 2010, Mozilla has had the ability to block specific third-party DLLs for all Windows users of Firefox. We do this only as a last resort, after trying to communicate with the vendor to get the underlying issue fixed, and we tailor it as tightly as we can to make Firefox users stop crashing. (We have the ability to only block specific versions of the DLL and only in specific Firefox processes where it’s causing problems). This is a helpful tool, but we only consider using it if a particular third-party DLL is causing lots of crashes such that it shows up on our list of top crashes in Firefox.

Even if we know a third-party DLL can cause a crash in Firefox, there are times when the functionality that the DLL provides is essential to the user, and the user would not want us to block the DLL on their behalf. If the user’s bank or government requires some software to access their accounts or file their taxes, we wouldn’t be doing them any favors by blocking it, even if blocking it would make Firefox more stable.

Giving users the power to block injected DLLs
With Firefox 110, users can block third-party DLLs from being loaded into Firefox. This can be done on the about:third-party page, which already lists all loaded third-party modules. The about:third-party page also shows which third-party DLLs have been involved in previous Firefox crashes; along with the name of the publisher of the DLL, hopefully this will let users make an informed decision about whether or not to block a DLL.
