A new Split View feature lets users view two tabs side-by-side in a single window, with fluid resizing and easy tab management. A free built-in VPN (browser-only, 50GB/month limit) is gradually rolling out to users in the US, UK, Germany, and France. On Linux, Firefox now uses the native XDG portal file picker, benefiting KDE Plasma, COSMIC, and Xfce users. Other changes include a unified Trust Panel replacing separate Privacy and Security popovers, refreshed error pages, faster PDF rendering via hardware acceleration in pdf.js, expanded on-device translation support (Thai, Bosnian, Serbian, Norwegian Bokmål), and an opt-in Tab Notes feature. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
