Firefox 150 has been released, boasting significant enhancements such as improved Split View functionality, multi-tab sharing, and new PDF editing features.
The Split View, initially introduced in Firefox 149, allows users to view two web pages side-by-side. In this latest version, users can right-click on a link to open it directly in Split View. Additionally, a new "Reverse Tabs" option makes it easier to switch the positions of the tabs in this view. You can also search among your open tabs when creating a new Split View.
The multi-tab sharing feature allows users to select multiple open tabs and copy all their URLs at once, streamlining the sharing process.
Among the PDF editing improvements, users can now reorder pages, delete them, and export selected pages directly from within Firefox’s built-in PDF editor. This builds on existing functionality, which allows users to drag and drop PDFs into the browser for editing.
Another notable update is the ad-hoc translation feature. Users can now translate text by accessing the about:translations page, allowing real-time translation by entering text and selecting the target language.
Python-based speed conversions have also been introduced; users can type queries like "1000 mph to km/h" directly into the address bar for instant results.
On the privacy front, Firefox 150 has made local network access restrictions mandatory, requiring sites to request permission before bridging connections with local devices, a feature previously reserved for users in Enhanced Tracking Protection’s strict mode.
For Linux users, Firefox 150 offers an integrated GTK emoji picker, activated by pressing ctrl + . on relevant input fields. Additionally, a new .rpm package is now accessible directly from the Firefox website for various RPM-based distributions.
The release brings improvements for developers too, including updates in accessibility notifications, media styling pseudo-classes, and advanced lazy-loading support.
Firefox 150 can be downloaded starting April 20, 2026, from the official Firefox website or via in-app updates for existing users. For Linux users, Firefox is provided as a Snap package, while Linux Mint users can update using the Mint Update tool or through terminal commands.
You can also install the Firefox Flatpak on Flathub if preferred.
