Mozilla has released Firefox 136 with a significant new feature: Vertical Tabs, displaying tabs vertically in the sidebar, similar to other web browsers that have had this feature for some time.
The sidebar has also been enhanced with easier customization options directly from the sidebar. To access this feature for the first time, go to Settings > General > Browser Layout, then choose what to display in the sidebar.
Other new features in Firefox 136 include:
– The ability to clear browsing data and cookies separately from saved forms.
– Support for decoding video using AMD GPU on Linux.
– Support for decoding HEVC video with hardware on macOS.
– Addition of ARM64 (AArch64) architecture binaries on Linux.
– Moving tabs running in the background to a more energy-efficient CPU core on macOS.
