Mozilla has launched Firefox 152, introducing a refreshed Settings interface and more streamlined content sharing options, alongside a unique feature for muting tabs. The update is available as of June 15, 2026, across various platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, though mobile versions may differ in features.
The most notable change in this release is the redesign of the Settings page, a long-anticipated feature. The new layout offers clearer organization and improved navigation, making it easier for users to customize their browsing experience. The traditional ‘General’ page has been eliminated, with options now distributed across relevant sections like Appearance and Accessibility. Users can still use the search bar to find specific settings.
In addition to the new look, Firefox 152 enhances how users can manage tracker blocking in private browsing sessions, allowing for selective disabling when certain elements fail to load properly. For those on Linux and Windows, a new context menu option lets you copy links from multiple selected tabs without needing to activate each tab explicitly.
A curious new feature is the ability to mute all tabs by simply typing commands like “mute”, “shush”, or “sssh” in the address bar, which then prompts a button to silence sounds from all open Firefox windows. While this might not appeal to everyone, it adds an interesting layer of functionality.
The update also includes built-in spellchecker dictionaries for various languages, and several other tweaks, such as restoring missing Paste options, ensuring reliable image dragging, and enhancing multi-monitor usability. Moreover, the usual batch of security patches is included to maintain user safety.
To update to Firefox 152, users can download it from the official website, or if they already have Firefox, the update will occur automatically through in-app processes or via their Linux distribution’s package manager.
