Mozilla has announced the availability of Firefox 100. It comes with a slew of video enhancements including subtitle support in Picture-in-Picture mode, HDR video support on macOS, and hardware-accelerated AV1 video on Windows. In addition, Linux and Windows users will see slimmer scrollbars that don’t take up space by default.
Just a month or so after Chrome reached version 100, Mozilla is also passing this milestone with its Firefox browser. As mentioned, it includes a lot of video improvements that should make the Picture-in-Picture mode work better with subtitles and other videos should be more performant on macOS and Windows with HDR support and AV1 video decoding, respectively.
During the first run of Firefox 100, the browser will check to see whether the language of the browser matches the operating system’s language and offer users a choice about which they would prefer to pick. This will be very handy for less technically-inclined users as the language preferences are buried in the settings and a bit hard to get to.
The other language change that Firefox 100 brings is that spell checking now checks against multiple languages at once. To add additional languages, just choose them in the text field’s context menu (right-click).
If you want to read the full changelog you can do that now, otherwise, go grab the latest update from Mozilla, or, if you have Firefox installed already go to the burger menu then press Help > About Firefox and it will check for the update.
