On Tue, Mar 24, 2026, Mozilla released Firefox 149.0, introducing significant updates centered on enhancing user privacy and security.

Free Built-In VPN: Firefox 149.0 includes a new integrated VPN service offering 50 GB of protected data monthly. This feature secures user data by routing web traffic through an encrypted proxy, masking IP addresses and physical locations. It is particularly beneficial for users on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. Split View: The new Split View feature allows users to view two web pages side-by-side within a single window, facilitating easier comparison and research. Automated Security Blocks: This version automatically blocks notifications and revokes permissions for websites identified as malicious by SafeBrowsing. Tab Notes (Experimental): Users can attach personal notes directly to specific web pages using the Tab Notes feature, available in Firefox Labs. Faster PDFs: Hardware acceleration has been implemented, enabling PDFs to load up to three times faster. Unified TrustPanel: Privacy and security options are now consolidated into a single address bar panel for quick access. On-Device Translation: Added support for Bosnian, Norwegian Bokmål, Serbian, and Thai languages without cloud data transfer. Native Share Button: A new Share button in the toolbar allows easy tab sharing using system options from Windows or macOS. Expanded Address Autofill: The Address Autofill feature is now available for users in Australia, India, Italy, Poland, and Austria.

The release strengthens defenses against web threats by blocking malicious site notifications and enhancing JavaScript execution requirements. Developers benefit from the new Reporting API, which standardizes monitoring of Content Security Policy (CSP) violations.
