In this latest version, users can right-click on a link to open it directly in Split View. Additionally, a new &quot;Reverse Tabs&quot; 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.<\/p>\n<p>The multi-tab sharing feature allows users to select multiple open tabs and copy all their URLs at once, streamlining the sharing process.<\/p>\n<p>Among the PDF editing improvements, users can now reorder pages, delete them, and export selected pages directly from within Firefox\u2019s built-in PDF editor. This builds on existing functionality, which allows users to drag and drop PDFs into the browser for editing.<\/p>\n<p>Another notable update is the ad-hoc translation feature. Users can now translate text by accessing the <code>about:translations<\/code> page, allowing real-time translation by entering text and selecting the target language.<\/p>\n<p>Python-based speed conversions have also been introduced; users can type queries like &quot;1000 mph to km\/h&quot; directly into the address bar for instant results.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s strict mode.<\/p>\n<p>For Linux users, Firefox 150 offers an integrated GTK emoji picker, activated by pressing <code>ctrl + .<\/code> on relevant input fields. Additionally, a new <code>.rpm<\/code> package is now accessible directly from the Firefox website for various RPM-based distributions.<\/p>\n<p>The release brings improvements for developers too, including updates in accessibility notifications, media styling pseudo-classes, and advanced lazy-loading support.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox 150 can be downloaded starting April 20, 2026, from the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.firefox.com\/\">official Firefox website<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<p>You can also install the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/flathub.org\/apps\/org.mozilla.firefox\">Firefox Flatpak on Flathub<\/a> if preferred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Firefox 150 has been released, boasting significant enhancements such as improved Split View functionality, multi-tab sharing, and new PDF editing features.
