Release Schedule Changes
Firefox is moving from a four-week release schedule to a two-week release schedule beginning with Firefox version 155. This change will allow bug fixes, updates and features that are ready to ship to reach users more quickly.
Bug Fixes
- The
SearchEngines.PreventInstallspolicy did not prevent users from manually adding search engines in Settings or from the context menu. This was fixed in bug 2052965. - The
-widthand-heightcommand-line options did not correctly set the Firefox window size. This was fixed in bug 1635927 (Firefox 154 only).
Other Changes
- Extended Protection (channel and service binding) for Windows SSPI authentication worked when using SPNEGO, but not when using Kerberos directly. This was fixed in bug 1179722.
Policies
- The DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled policy has been added to prevent users from changing the default browser.
- The CNSA2KeyAgreementEnabled policy has been added to enable CNSA 2.0 key agreement (Firefox 154 only).
- The SanitizeOnShutdown policy has been updated with an
Exceptionsoption to configure sites whose data should not be cleared on shutdown (Firefox 154 only).
