Focus on just one tab in a group without the clutter

Version 144.0, first offered to Release channel users on October 14, 2025

New
Focus on just one tab in a group without the clutter. Your active tab now stays in view, keeping things tidy even with the group collapsed.

We’re excited to share another tab groups update that addresses a top request from our community! You can now drag a tab into a collapsed group without automatically expanding it. It’s a quick way to stay organized while minimizing visual distractions.

Profile management, now rolling out gradually to users globally over the next few weeks, helps you protect your privacy and stay focused by separating your online life into distinct profiles for work, school, vacation planning, or whatever you choose. You can name your profiles and customize them with avatars and color themes for easy recognition, then quickly switch between them while keeping bookmarks, tabs, and browsing history completely separate. The new Profiles feature is available for Windows 11, Mac, and Linux users, with Windows 10 support coming soon.

You can now close a Picture-in-Picture window without pausing the video. Press Shift + Click on the close button or use Shift + Esc to exit while keeping playback uninterrupted.

Logins stored in the Firefox Password Manager are now encrypted on disk using a modern encryption scheme (AES-256-CBC), replacing the older 3DES-CBC. This change improves local data protection. Logins synced through Firefox Sync remain end-to-end encrypted and already use AES-256-GCM.

Visual search powered by Google Lens

With just a right-click on any image, you can now:
✨ Find similar products, places, or objects
✨ Copy, translate, or search text from images
✨ Get inspiration for learning, travel, or shopping

Look for the new “Search Image with Google Lens” option in your right-click menu (highlighted with a NEW badge at first).
This is a desktop-only feature, rolling out worldwide. Your default search engine must be set to Google in order to use it.

Perplexity AI Search in Firefox
On desktop, Firefox now includes Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine built into the browser. Perplexity delivers direct, conversational answers to complex questions, helping you get quick summaries, accurate references, or creative inspiration without digging through multiple sources. It’s rolling out worldwide from the address bar via the unified search button.

This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
