This update focuses on polish and fixes, with special attention to a long‑standing theming issue and several quality‑of‑life improvements for tab grouping.
Fixes and improvements
Theming
- Resolved a long‑standing issue where Waterfox's styles could “leak” into the web page area. Customisations now apply only to the browser interface, not to website content.
- Improved handling of theme colouring to prevent contrast issues.
- Active tab context line has been enabled by default, after many requests.
Tab groups
- Smoother startup: automatic grouping now waits until your previous session has fully restored. It only applies to tabs you open after everything is loaded.
- Your existing tab order and groups are preserved at startup; nothing gets rearranged automatically.
- If you collapse your only tab group, you’ll still have a single ungrouped tab available. That tab won’t be pulled back into a group unless you choose to do so.
Compatibility
- Updated emoji support to Emoji 16.0.1 on platforms that don’t provide these characters natively, improving how newer emojis appear.
