Extensions Can Now Access Your Bookmarks
Extensions like floccus (bookmark sync) can now read and organize your bookmarks. When you add or edit a bookmark in the app, extensions are notified instantly so your sync tool stays up to date. This is unique among mobile Gecko browsers.
Smarter Gesture Controls
- New "stroke interval" setting — Prevents accidental gesture triggers from fast, jittery finger movements. Found in Gesture Behavior settings.
- Easier action picker — Swipe down anywhere to dismiss the action selection sheet (not just a tiny handle).
- Quick shortcut — Long-press the gestures toggle in the browser menu to jump straight to gesture settings.
Reload Button Doubles as Stop
The reload button now shows an X during page load — tap it to cancel loading. No more hunting for a separate stop button.
Smoother Search & Tabs
- Find-in-page no longer pops up uninvited — When tapping a tab from search results, you'll see a simple prompt asking if you want to find that text on the page.
- Your keyboard stays put — Pulling down the notification shade or switching keyboards no longer kicks you out of the search field.
Performance Improvements
- Top sites on the home screen load more smoothly when scrolling.
- Container tab colors use less CPU, making tab switching feel snappier.
Smarter Search Shortcuts (Bangs)
Bangs like !g now match search results correctly even when search engines redirect between www.google.com, google.com, or m.google.com.
QR Scanner with Proper Permissions
The camera permission is now requested beforehand. If you deny it, you get a clear message instead of a broken camera view. If permission is revoked while the scanner is open, it closes gracefully.
Bug Fixes & Polish
- Home screen search widget now works properly again.
- Updated GeckoView engine and several dependencies for stability.
- General reliability fixes across the board.
