- Firefox is adding native MKV video support, eliminating the need for add-ons or conversions.
- MKV (Matroska Video) is a popular format that combines video, audio, and subtitles in a single file.
- Previously, Firefox users had to convert MKV files, use add-ons, or switch browsers to play them.
- Mozilla's rollout plan includes testing in Firefox Nightly, expanding codec support, and ensuring stability before full release.
- This update aligns Firefox with Chromium browsers like Chrome and Edge, which already support MKV.
- Additional Firefox improvements include fixing a Virtual Desktop bug on Windows and adding Google Lens support for image searches.
- Firefox will also retain downloaded PDFs in private browsing and reinstall itself after a Windows 11 upgrade.
