In the pursuit of a more pure web experience, Mozilla has officially released the latest stable version of Firefox browser — version 148. A highlight of this update is the new "AI Control" panel, which allows users to easily disable or customize AI features in the browser, aiming to meet users' needs for privacy and a simple browsing experience.
Aside from AI Control, the Firefox 148 version also introduces a more powerful built-in translation feature. Now, users can seamlessly translate between Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese, which is undoubtedly a great convenience for users who need multilingual support. In addition, the browser has made improvements in accessibility, allowing screen readers to accurately read mathematical formulas in PDFs, further enhancing its friendliness for people with disabilities.
In terms of backup features, this version has been optimized specifically for Windows 10 and 11, ensuring smooth use even when the "clear history on close" setting is enabled. At the same time, Firefox 148 has resolved issues with image dragging and fixed a vulnerability that could cause language packs to fail. Regarding user data privacy, Mozilla has made positive adjustments: remote feature updates have been decoupled from telemetry data, so users no longer need to share any data to receive updates, which is undoubtedly reassuring.
Notably, Firefox 115.33 will be the last security update for users of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. After February 2026, Firefox will stop supporting these older versions of Windows, and users should update to the latest system to continue enjoying the browser's security services.
In summary, the Firefox 148 version not only provides users with more control and privacy protection, but also enhances multilingual support and accessibility features, allowing more users to enjoy a smoother and safer browsing experience.
