At this time and for a few years, one of the most important elements of the different web browsers that we install on our computers are their updates. Thus, its developers send us the latest functions they have worked on and protect us with security updates. Of course, this is something that extends to Mozilla Firefox.
In this case we find one of the most important browsers in the sector that has now just received an important update that we are going to talk to you about. Specifically, we are referring to Firefox 134, which is now available to most users. Some of you may have to wait a few hours to automatically receive the updated program, including its latest features and tools.
News coming to Firefox 134
As it could not be otherwise, Mozilla itself here includes new tools that reach all versions and platforms compatible with the browser. To begin with, we tell you that, starting with this version, Firefox is now closer to the HTML specification model for temporary user activation. All this in order to make the blocking of pop-up windows less strict than to date.
In this way, Mozilla has just published the final versions of its web browser, Firefox 134, which we can download for compatible systems: Windows, Linux and macOS. As we told you, Firefox now more closely follows the HTML model for temporary user activation. The company itself assures that this change makes the blocking of pop-ups less strict. At the same time, consider that previous versions of Firefox were too aggressive, all in order to reduce erroneous blocking notices.
Likewise, for Windows users, Firefox 134 implements hardware support for the HEVC multimedia format. This significantly improves compatibility with the playback of this type of video content, optimizing their loading and viewing. It is an increasingly widespread standard among most websites and is now compatible with the program, as has been announced for some time. Taking into account that many users use this browser for streaming playback, this new compatibility becomes even more important.
On the other hand, Linux users now have support for touchpad hold gestures. These allow you to interrupt scrolling by placing two fingers on the PC’s touch panel. Likewise, its developers solve two problems in macOS Sonoma.
How to download the new version of the Mozilla browser
The application as such should be automatically updated to our Firefox if we have it installed on the PC. All we have to do is go to the Help / About Firefox menu option. We may have to wait a few hours for the new Firefox 134 to arrive automatically.
With everything and with this, we also have the possibility of downloading the new, already updated version through the official Mozilla website. Keep in mind that even though the new version is now available, in some regions it may still take a few hours or even days.
