While being the first release of the new year, Firefox 109 isn't all that exciting unless you are into Firefox add-ons/extensions with Manifest Version 3 being available by default along with the new "Unified Extensions" button.
Some of the Mozilla Firefox 109 changes include:
- The HTML "range" element now supports a list attribute that can link to a "datalist" element to allow Firefox to display tick marks along the range.
- The CSS "content-visibility" property now supports the value "auto" that will allow content to skip rendering if it is not relevant to the user.
- Firefox now supports "scrollend" events for when a user has completed scrolling.
- Manifest V3 is now supported for Firefox add-on developers by default while Manifest Version Two continues to be supported. The default COntent Security Policy for Manifest V3 extensions has also been updated.
- As part of the Manifest V3 work is also rolling put a new "Unified Extensions" button.
