Firefox 128: big feature release and new ESR-base

For those who have set at least one policy:

"The browser is managed by your organization"

 

I would like to advise FF users that many settings changed for me when I updated to 128. Oddly, I have two identical Win11 machines, and only one of them experienced the changes to Privacy & Settings. Lots of reverting to default, is what it appears to be. FWIW

 

Anybody running AdGuard Browser Extension 4.3.53 with FireFox?

Since upgrading Firefox to v128 today, I've lost left-click functionality on the AdGuard browser toolbar icon.
The drop down menu that used to appear is gone. Right-click still provides its own drop down menu selection.
This issue does not exist on Chrome... just FireFox, and right after upgrading to v128.
This is happening on two Win11 computers.
Maybe someone can confirm?
Emailed support, and waiting for a response.

See https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/releases/tag/v4.3.64-beta

 

Yes! AdGuard released v4.3.64 to fix problem. Working fine now!

 

Today I made the version update.
Why does this happen?





P.S.

In an attempt not to repeat this experience, I set another policy

 

I don't know why that happens.
I see that once every few updates.
N.B. That is with only Firefox installed, no other browsers.

I hope that helps.
Keep us posted.

 

"Mozilla is working on a new feature for its Firefox web browser: automatic picture-in-picture mode."

I hope that is optional and not the default behaviour.

 

The current available picture-in-picture mode can be turned on and off in Settings\ General\ Browsing\ "Enable picture-in-picture video controls".
I expect a similar option for disabling the new automatic picture-in-picture mode.

 

i am pretty sure that it is opt-able. the feature means, to show PiP when tab is switched and stream is still running instead stopped/paused.

 

Thanks JR
