Mozilla has released a maintenance update for Firefox 144, version 144.0.2. Some of these fixes specifically affect macOS this time, but a security fix is also included. The update is available via the browser update function.
Here is the list of included fixes
-
Locale roll call trimmed: about:settings was listing more languages than actually on the guest list. Bouncer engaged; only downloaded & supported locales get in now. (Bug 1994642)
-
Keyboard warriors rejoice: popping open the Unified Search with keys was a bit moody. It now opens reliably so you can pick your engine without touching the mouse. (Bug 1979826)
-
OneDrive glow-up: curated photo collections stopped being shy gray boxes and are back to showing actual memories. (Bug 1986533)
-
Windows wake-up call: a startup crash for folks with Avast (and some other security suites) has been evicted. Launch away. (Bug 1992678)
-
macOS emoji vibes restored: the picker shortcut/menu went on strike after app-switching. We’ve negotiated peace—emoji rain is back. (Bug 1980815)
-
Drag-and-drop drama ended (macOS): hauling images from Firefox into apps like Preview now behaves like a well-trained cat, not a gremlin. (Bug 1995345)
-
Smoother macOS 26 (Tahoe): under heavy system load, performance and video playback hit turbulence. We’ve smoothed the ride. (Bug 1995638)
-
Bookmark Bermuda Triangle (macOS 26) solved: folders looping into themselves could freeze the browser. We cut the loop-de-loops. (Bug 1995621)
