Following 113.0.1, Mozilla releases Firefox 113.0.2 for Windows, Mac, and Linux with performance and crash and other bug fixes. Here is what’s new.
Firefox 113.0.2
What’s new
- Recent Firefox 113’s Picture in Picture Updates clashes with PowerToys FancyZones on Windows. FancyZones does not register the PiP window as snappable to the layout as a result the PiP window can’t be assigned to a zone. Mozilla has found the regression and fixed it.
- While playing Reddit Videos in Firefox on Windows 10 on certain systems with Intel HD graphics driver version 20.19.15.4390, Firefox crashes. Mozilla has addressed this issue.
- Firefox freezes on certain pages when DevTools WebConsole is opened. This reportedly results in high CPU usage and infinite memory consumption.
- When you open Bookmarks/history sidebar and resize it, the vertical scrollbar doesn’t adjust to the new height.
Official release notes:
- Fixed an issue which caused Picture-in-Picture windows to not be snappable on Windows 11 or on systems with the FancyZones PowerToy installed
- Fixed a video playback crash on some Windows systems with Intel graphics
- Fixed a bug that could cause Firefox to freeze on some pages when loading them with the Developer Tools Web Console open
- Fixed a bug that would cause the bookmarks and history sidebars to not properly react to the browser window being vertically resized
