Mozilla releases Firefox version 100 this week
Firefox released its 100th update, and some fanfare accompanied the release on Mozilla's blog about the web browser. Firefox 100 is available this week for both desktop and mobile versions.
To celebrate, Mozilla says it will be regularly sharing fan art inspired by Firefox throughout May. But while that 100 number carries some symbolic weight, the update itself isn't particularly monumental.
On the desktop, subtitles and captions are now supported in Firefox's picture-in-picture mode for videos. Three key websites officially support subtitles and captions in PIP: YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. Plus, the feature works on websites that support the WebVTT standard, like Twitter. That's as far as new features go for desktop, but there's more going on on the mobile side. First, there's a new browser history view. Mozilla says it reduced clutter in this new history panel by removing duplicates and automatically grouping related items—like multiple pages visited from the same search query. You can search your history with a text field now, too.
