Firefox 160 has been officially released by Mozilla, introducing significant user-facing improvements alongside underlying technical changes. The most notable addition is the new Mini Windows feature, which allows users to move entire tabs or specific page sections into always-on-top windows for easier access. To enable Mini Windows, right-click a tab and select 'Move to Mini Window,' or right-click any page content and choose 'Move Section to Mini Window' to isolate a specific area.
For the Pi P (Picture-in-Picture) video player, Mozilla has also updated the interface with a dedicated playback speed button and slider, eliminating the need to return to the main tab for speed adjustments. Additionally, Firefox 160 includes performance enhancements such as Metal API rendering for WebGL content on macOS, resulting in smoother performance on certain websites. The update also makes PDFs with Math ML content accessible to screen readers.
Other improvements include address bar UI refinements and bug fixes for background links opened by other applications on macOS. These changes aim to enhance the average browsing experience across platforms.
