Version 105.0, first offered to Release channel users on September 20, 2022

New

  • Added an option to print only the current page from the print preview dialog.
  • Firefox now supports partitioned service workers in third-party contexts. You can register service workers in a third-party iframe and it will be partitioned under the top-level domain.
  • Swipe to navigate (two fingers on a touchpad swiped left or right to perform history back or forward) on Windows is now enabled.
  • Firefox is now compliant with the User Timing L3 specification, which adds additional optional arguments to the performance.mark and performance.measure methods to provide custom start times, end times, duration, and attached details.
  • Searching in large lists for individual items is now 2x faster. This performance enhancement replaces array.includes and array.indexOf with an optimized SIMD version.

Fixed

  • Stability on Windows is significantly improved as Firefox handles low-memory situations much better.
  • Touchpad scrolling on macOS was made more accessible by reducing unintended diagonal scrolling opposite of the intended scroll axis.
  • Firefox is less likely to run out of memory on Linux and performs more efficiently for the rest of the system when memory runs low.
  • Various security fixes.

Enterprise

Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the latest version of Firefox. You can find more information in the Firefox for Enterprise 105 Release Notes.

Developer

Developer Information

Swipe to navigate (two fingers on a touchpad swiped left or right to perform history back or forward) on Windows is now enabled.

Anyone knows about this on Linux? Maybe an option in about:config?

It's going to most likely come to Linux in Firefox 106. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1790580

But it has worked since 103, just disabled by default. So, maybe if you set widget.disable-swipe-tracker flag to false it will work.
