Mozilla has released Firefox 151.0.2 as a bug-fixing update for its web browser, addressing several stability issues across Windows and macOS.
Addresses Windows crashes with Sogou input method and unexpected Split View tab closures.
The release targets users who rely on the Split View feature or encounter specific input method crashes, ensuring smoother daily browsing sessions without unexpected interruptions.
Key fixes include resolving a crash on Windows when using the Sogou input method to type Simplified Chinese characters. The update also corrects an issue where adding another tab to an existing Split View layout would unexpectedly close it.
Performance and rendering improvements address disk caching behavior, preventing Firefox from stopping content caching once the cache reaches full capacity. A separate fix resolves incorrect website rendering or loading failures caused by JavaScript inserting WebKit-specific style rules.
macOS users benefit from a correction that allows smart cards and security keys to load certificates automatically without manual intervention. This change improves authentication reliability for users who depend on hardware tokens for secure access.
Firefox 151.0.2 is now available globally through Mozilla's FTP servers, with the update rolling out to all users shortly after publication.
This release follows previous versions that maintained similar stability patterns, focusing on incremental improvements rather than major feature additions. The patch aligns with Mozilla's standard practice of releasing targeted fixes for reported issues.
The update resolves specific technical problems without introducing new features or changing the browser's core functionality. Users can expect a more stable experience when using Split View, handling certificates, or managing disk cache on affected platforms.
