Release 126.0 · yokoffing/Betterfox

📣 Release Notes

Disabling telemetry in Firefox's user-facing settings also disables the new SERP telemetry, so we don't need to add a new preference for it.
Modified Smoothfox to account for msdPhysics being enabled on Firefox Nightly.
Firefox 126 now uses NVIDIA Super Resolution and HDR, so you can remove gfx.webrender.super-resolution.nvidia if you were using it.
Added details about Race Cache With Network (RCWN). You can view how beneficial it is by going to about:networking#rcwn in the URL bar. Disable it if you want to increase cache usage and reduce network usage. And if you're up for some nerdy reading, these slides and this explainer was really informative.
CSS :has() selector now ships on all Firefox versions.

Nothing too crazy for the past few releases: 123.0, 124.0, 125.0.1, 126.0

Mozilla finally increased the count of network.dns.max_high_priority_threads and network.dns.max_any_priority_threads, as well as network.http.speculative-parallel-limit.
They also finally fixed <link rel=dns-prefetch> (HTTPS) in the upcoming Firefox 127.
Firefox Nightly users can add wallpaper and show the weather on the New Tab page.
Nightly also added Bounce Tracking Protection, which adds heuristics to Redirect Tracking Protection. "The feature detects bounce trackers based on redirect behavior and periodically purges their cookies and site data to prevent tracking." We'll be looking for those to come down the line in the next couple of months.
