The next update for Firefox is in the starting blocks. Mozilla has completed Firefox 125.0 and Firefox 115.10 ESR. The update will appear on Tuesday (April 16) around the afternoon using the update function in the browser. Security gaps have been closed in both versions.
Mozilla is currently working on the function for vertical tabs and tab groups, which you already know in Edge or Vivaldi. An additional feature that is desired among Firefox users. Let's see when Mozilla integrates this. (via: Soren). But back to the current situation.

Firefox 125 also has new features that affect download protection, PDF, copied URLs and much more. And also many corrections were made Firefox 125. But here are the changes.
Firefox 125 release notes
- Security fixes.
- Firefox now supports the AV1 Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) codec, enabling higher quality playback from video streaming providers.
- The Firefox PDF viewer now supports text highlighting.
- Firefox View now shows pinned tabs in the Open Tabs section. Tab indicators have also been added to open tabs, allowing users to e.g. For example, you can see which tabs are playing media and quickly unmute across multiple windows. Indicators have also been added for bookmarks, tabs with notifications, and more!
- Firefox now prompts users in the US and Canada to save their addresses when they submit an address form so that Firefox can automatically fill in the saved address information in the future.
- Firefox has expanded its download protection and now more proactively blocks downloads from URLs that are considered potentially untrustworthy.
- The URL paste feature provides users with a convenient way to quickly open URLs that have been copied to the clipboard in Firefox's address bar. If the clipboard contains a URL and the URL bar is focused, an autocomplete result will automatically appear. Enabling the clipboard suggestion will navigate the user to the URL with just one click.
- Users of tab-specific container add-ons can now search for tabs open in different containers in the address bar. Special thanks to volunteer atararx who initiated the work on this feature!
- Firefox now offers the ability to enable Automatic Web Proxy Detection (WPAD) when configured to use system proxy settings.
- Changed: In a group of radio buttons where no option is selected, the Tab key now only reaches the first option instead of cycling through all available options. The arrow keys navigate between options as they do when an option is selected. This makes keyboard navigation more efficient and consistent.
- Additional changes for HTML 5, developers and the enterprise version
