Mozilla launched Firefox 153<\/a> on Tuesday, intently adopted by MZLA with Thunderbird 153 \u2013 codenamed “Meadow” for causes that remain obscure<\/a> for now.<\/p>\n

Firefox 153 is Mozilla’s new Prolonged Assist Launch (ESR), so it is going to obtain safety updates till a while after the following ESR in mid-2027. We lined the highlights of what’s new in this version<\/a> final week.<\/p>\n

Firefox 153 will probably be excellent news when you used the Multi-Account Containers extension<\/a>: a preview version of the functionality<\/a> is now in-built. Firefox already has user profiles<\/a>, which allow you to hold units of settings and credentials separate. With some further effort, you may even launch a number of separate cases of Firefox with totally different profiles. Containers make related performance a lot simpler: every container has its personal set of saved credentials. So, as an example, a “residence” container may maintain a set of tabs logged into numerous websites along with your private accounts, whereas a “work” container may log into the identical websites along with your day-job credentials.<\/p>\n

There are additionally new options for customers on cellular. Firefox 153 for Android will get tab groups<\/a>, whereas Firefox for iOS customers within the US get the brand new Quick Answers<\/a> characteristic. Speech recognition occurs on the system, though the transcribed query is distributed on-line to generate a solution.<\/p>\n

This model is codenamed “Meadow,” changing the earlier “Eclipse” launch, however on the time of writing, information about what “Meadow” signifies is scant. The New in Thunderbird Desktop<\/a> web page hasn’t been up to date since Thunderbird 150, which came out back in April<\/a>. Not less than there’s some information there, even when it is outdated. On the time of writing, following the What’s New in Thunderbird 153<\/a> hyperlink within the launch notes provides this useful information:<\/p>\n
