◆Firefox View is installed
``Firefox View'' is now available, which allows you to view open tabs, recently closed tabs, and tabs from other devices. You can open it by clicking the folder icon at the top left of the area where the tabs are displayed.
If there are a large number of tabs to display, only the first five will be displayed. If you want to check the whole thing, click 'Show all'.
The tabs on the left will change to 'open tabs' and the tabs will be organized and displayed in each window.
◆PDF editing function will be enhanced
In addition to text and drawings, you can now add images and alt text for images.
◆Enhanced tracking prevention function
In addition to adding Blob URL splitting to the comprehensive cookie protection feature , you can now limit the fonts that can be used in strict mode to system fonts and language pack fonts to reduce third-party tracking.
◆Setting to not display the mouse pointer while entering characters
In the Windows version of Firefox, the pointer no longer appears while entering text if configured in the system. System settings can be made by typing 'mouse' in the search field of the start menu and selecting 'Change the display or speed of the mouse pointer' that appears.
Check 'Hide pointer while typing' and click 'OK'. Now the pointer will no longer get in the way when you type on Firefox.
