Firefox 140: The Latest in Speed, Customization, and Privacy

The newest version of Mozilla Firefox—Firefox 140—was released on June 24, 2025, and it’s packed with thoughtful updates. Whether you’re a power user, a casual browser, or a developer, this version has something worth trying out.

🔄 Vertical Tabs Get Smarter

Firefox continues to improve its vertical tab experience. In version 140, the pinned tabs sidebar is now resizable. This means you can drag the sidebar to reveal more or fewer pinned tabs—helping you stay organized and focus on what matters.

🧠 Tab Unloading for Better Performance

Running too many tabs at once? Firefox 140 introduces a new feature: Unload Tab. Simply right-click on one or more tabs and choose “Unload Tab” to free up memory and CPU. The tab stays in place, but the content is suspended until you reopen it.

🔎 Easier Custom Search Engines

Now you can add custom search engines directly from search fields on websites. Just right-click any site’s search bar and Firefox will let you add it. You can also manage them under Settings > Search.

🧹 Cleaner Toolbar, Less Clutter

Don’t want the puzzle-piece icon (Extensions button) cluttering your toolbar? Firefox now allows you to remove it completely, keeping your interface clean while still accessing extensions through the main menu.

💻 Developer Tools & Tech Upgrades

  • Support for CSS Custom Highlight API
  • Improved full-page translations
  • Better support for the CookieStore API and pointerrawupdate event

These updates give developers more flexibility and precision when building for the modern web.

📱 Firefox for Android 140 Highlights

  • Fingerprint/passcode protection for private tabs
  • Select all support for bookmark management

This version helps keep your browsing more secure and manageable on mobile.

🧭 The Direction Firefox Is Heading

Firefox 140 is all about efficiency, customization, and privacy. With the retirement of Pocket, Mozilla is clearly streamlining the browser’s features to focus on core browsing performance and user control.

🚀 How to Update

To get Firefox 140:

  1. Click the ☰ menu in the top-right corner of Firefox
  2. Go to Help > About Firefox
  3. Firefox will automatically check for and install updates
  4. Restart Firefox when prompted

🎯 Final Thoughts

Whether you’re excited about faster performance, cleaner layouts, or new dev tools, Firefox 140 is a solid upgrade worth exploring. Don’t forget to check your extensions and search settings to take full advantage of these features!

I remember when we used to be unaware of most of everything. We did not know anything at all, we just were, there, around, walking and trying to find mysteries we did not even know they existed.
I remember having to copy cassettes from friends to get the latest imported album, borrowing underground porn, renting copied VHS tapes, and finding the best Slayer album 3 years after its release. it was fun, we were surporised and amazed by everything. I always had this hope of having that bootleg album I had heard of. That song I heard somewhere and I did not have a clue who sang it.
We are now all doomed , we must know it all, if we don’t the common questions comes: “did you google it?? ” and we believe everything that there is, we even trust our health to Google. If we have a pain somewhere, just search it and do what it is said there.
Have a problem, do what that old blog says, need to know the future, consult the online fortune teller, we are so submerged in it that we do not even bother to walk around and meet the neighbors, we just twitt what ever thought is in our minds.
I am not against it, but I am aware of it. We should be more responsible when using Google, twitter, Facebook and all those hundreds of social sites and networks.

When was the last time you heard a record from the first note to the last, when was the last time you spent the day listening over and over to a LP just mesmerized by its cover (Iron Maiden used to blow mi mind) …??

I feel like talking with my granpa and apologizing by not understanding his words when complained about the TV, Atari and Walkman…..
