New version, new features, updates  & Security updates
 
Version 134.0 - first offered to Release channel users on January 7, 2025
(excerpt)
NEW:
Firefox now supports touchpad hold gestures on Linux. This means that kinetic (momentum) scrolling can now be interrupted by placing two fingers on the touchpad.
 
Hardware-accelerated playback of HEVC video content is now supported on Windows.
 
Ecosia's availability has been expanded to all languages in the German region along with Austria, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and
Switzerland.
 
 
Changed: Firefox now follows the model HTML specification for transient user activation more closely. This change makes popup blocking less strict in cases where previous versions of Firefox were overly aggressive, reducing erroneous blocking prompts.
 
12 Various security fixes -- (4) rated High

 
High = "Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions."
