Firefox 90.0.1 update available

Firefox 90.0.1 is available for download now. The update is intended to eliminate a number of causes of crashes.

Mozilla released Firefox 90 just a few days ago. Now the Firefox developers have released the Firefox 90.0.1 update already, which users should install in order to avoid a number of possible causes of crashes.

With Firefox 90.0.1, Mozilla wants to fix a possible cause of crashes that is related to some accessibility tools on Windows computers. In addition, Firefox 90.0.1 is said to have fixed a rarely occurring bug that can cause Firefox to crash when exiting.

In addition, the Firefox developers solved a cause of a crash in the new version, which concerns the new implementation of local storage, which is still deactivated by default, but should be activated for some users as a test in the course of the Firefox 90 cycle.

Another problem in Firefox 90: the browser can get into an infinite loop while processing an HTTP / 3 request. This in turn increases the CPU usage and can result in Firefox no longer being able to load websites. This problem should also be a thing of the past with the update to version 90.0.1.

Other bug fixes in Firefox 90.0.1 include a bug with authentication with some smart cards and an issue that can cause about: support to only show a blank page on the first start after updating to Firefox 90.

You can read more about the new version 90.0.1 in the Release Notes.
