Key Features in Firefox 138.0
Profile Manager- You can now organize your browsing into multiple profiles (work, study, personal, etc.).
- Each profile is isolated with its own bookmarks, passwords, browsing history, and settings.
- Profiles can be named and customized with avatars and color themes for easier recognition.
- Quickly switch between profiles, keeping everything separate for privacy and focus.
- Firefox now uses “acrylic” material for popup menus, better matching the modern Windows 11 UI. This means menus have a translucent, frosted-glass look, creating a more native feel.
- For U.S. users, typing a weather-related term or city name in the address bar now gives weather suggestions/results directly in the dropdown.
- Address and credit card autofill is improved, handling dynamically changing forms better — for example, filling newly revealed fields like additional address fields that appear after choosing a country.
- On macOS and Linux, you can copy links from background tabs via the tabstrip’s right-click menu.
- Various security updates included.
- Contrast control settings (for accessibility) are improved and separated from previous color settings.
- There’s currently a problem importing passwords from Chrome. The workaround is to export passwords from Chrome as a CSV file, then import into Firefox.
- Go to
Menu > Help > About Firefoxto manually trigger the update. - You can also download the newest build from the official Firefox site or the Microsoft Store.
