WebRender continues to roll out to more Firefox users on Windows. You can now explore new articles when saving a web page to Pocket from the Firefox toolbar. For Windows users, opening new windows was made faster by 10%. Restoring a session is 17% faster, which means you can pick up where you left off more quickly. Firefox is faster than ever with improved performance in both page loads and startup time. For Windows users, Firefox now uses DirectComposition for hardware decoded video, which will improve CPU and GPU usage during video playback, improving battery life. Picture-In-Picture now has a keyboard shortcut for Mac users (Option + Command + Shift + Right Bracket) that works before you start playing the video. The Picture-In-Picture button has a new look and position, making it easier to find and use the function. Below you have the list of news that Mozilla has mentioned to us. Specifically two, the first being an improvement that will make playing online titles better, which adds to the hardware acceleration of the earlier version, and the other related to new extension system that would make it easier for developers to bring theirs from Chrome to Firefox. The official list of news is available from this link, but during the development of Firefox 82 there has been talk of interesting changes.
It may seem like a minor release, in part because they include fewer features since releasing a new version every four weeks, but there are notable new features.
And no, it is not that it has published a release or release note, it never does, it is already available, both from its website and to update, as we will explain at the end of this article. As scheduled, Mozilla today made the launch of Firefox 82.
