It’s time for Firefox users to update their browsers to the latest version and get a host of new features and improvements. Version 126.0 is now fully out in the release channel, bringing customers support for Nvidia’s video-enhancing technology (Video Super Resolution and Video HDR), AV1 hardware decoding on M3-based Macs, a new privacy feature that lets you copy a link without parameter tracking, and more.

Here is the official changelog:

New features:

• The Copy Without Site Tracking option can now remove parameters from nested URLs. It also includes extended support for blocking over 300 tracking parameters from copied links, including those from major shopping sites. Keep those followers away when sharing links!
• Firefox now supports content encoding: zstd (zstandard compression). It is an alternative to broti and gzip compression for web content, and can provide higher compression levels for the same CPU used, or conversely lower server CPU usage to get the same compression. It is widely used on sites like Facebook.

• Catalan is now available in Firefox translations.

• Enable AV1 hardware decoding acceleration in macOS for M3 Macs.

• Telemetry was added to generate a cumulative count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as “Sports”, “Business” and “Travel”. This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove IP addresses as identifiable metadata. No profiling will be done, and no data will be shared with third parties (read more).

• NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution (“VSR”) is now available in Firefox. RTX VSR enhances and sharpens lower resolution video when upscaled to higher resolutions as well as removes blocky artifacts commonly seen in low bitrate streaming video. VSR requires at least a 20-series NVIDIA RTX GPU or higher, Microsoft Windows 10/11 64-bit, and NVIDIA driver version R530 or higher. The feature can be enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

• NVIDIA RTX Video HDR is now available in Firefox. RTX Video HDR automatically converts SDR video to vibrant HDR10 in real-time, allowing you to enjoy video with enhanced clarity on your HDR10 panel. It requires at least a 20-series NVIDIA RTX GPU, Microsoft Windows 10/11 64-bit, and NVIDIA drivers version 550 or higher. The feature can be enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Other changes:

• The URL Paste Suggestion feature added in Fx125 has been temporarily disabled while the team investigates a possible performance issue. The feature will be re-enabled in a future release after the performance issue is addressed.
