Mozilla has announced the release of Firefox 76.0 which brings the ability to join Zoom calls without requiring a download, improvements to Picture-in-Picture, and various protections for your online account logins and passwords.

There’s no doubt that during the last couple of weeks you’ve been signing up for new online services like streaming movies and shows, ordering takeout or getting produce delivered to your home. All of those new accounts need unique, strong passwords to be secure, which you can now generate, manage and protect more easily with Firefox Lockwise.

What's New in This Version:
With today’s release, Firefox strengthens protections for your online account logins and passwords, with innovative approaches to managing your accounts during this critical time:
● Firefox displays critical alerts in the Lockwise password manager when a website is breached;
● If one of your accounts is involved in a website breach and you've used the same password on other websites, you will now be prompted to update your password. A key icon identifies which accounts use that vulnerable password.
● Automatically generate secure, complex passwords for new accounts across more of the web that are easily saved right in the browser;
● You have been able to access and see your saved passwords under Logins and Passwords easily under the main menu. If your device happens to be shared among your family or roommates, the latest update helps to prevent casual snooping over your shoulder. If you don’t have a master password set up for Firefox, Windows and macOS now requires a login to your operating system account before showing your saved passwords.


Picture-in-Picture allows you to multitask, the small video window following along no matter what you are doing on your computer, across different applications and even workspaces. Now, when you are ready to focus on the video, a double click can take the small window into full screen. Double click again to reduce the size again.

Firefox now supports Audio Worklets that will allow more complex audio processing like VR and gaming on the web; and is being adopted by some of your favorite software programs.
● With this change, you can now join Zoom calls on Firefox without the need for any additional downloads.

WebRender continues its roll out to more Firefox for Windows users, now available by default on modern Intel laptops with a small screen (
