The latest version of the Firefox web browser is rolling out for users on macOS and Windows, bringing some minor but welcome quality-of-life improvements – including 120Hz refresh rate support.

Now, those of you who are using thebest web browsersout there on a laptop like theMacBook Pro 16-inch (2021), or have a monitor that has a VRR of 120Hz or more, can experience smoother scrolling while exploring the web.

The 120Hz Firefox updatemeans pages will look less blurry as you scroll them, letting you more easily skim through content to find the nugget of information or link that you’re after.

Finding what you need in PDFs is also getting easier.Firefoxwill now automatically highlight parts of a PDF that you need to fill in, making it easier to complete your digital documents.

There are also a few new accessibility upgrades. When using picture-in-picture to watch a subtitled video you can change the size of the font from within the video’s window directly, making it much easier to shrink or enlarge the text. A few new sites now support picture-in-picture subtitles includingFunimationand Dailymotion.

If you want to make all the text in Firefox bigger, Windows’ ‘Make text bigger’ setting now changes the size of all text in the browser, rather than just system font sizes. It’ll also be easier to open up Firefox onMicrosoft’s OS, as the browser will now be pinned to the taskbar during installation onWindows 10andWindows 11.

Last but not least, you can finally use your keyboard to access the Tabs toolbar. Just use Ctrl/Cmd+L to reach the address bar, then Tab and Shift+Tab to move between the toolbar’s groups of buttons. Once you’ve found the right group the left and right arrow keys will let you move through individual buttons in that group.
