Mozilla Firefox 147 enables WebGPU on Apple Silicon Macs and improves hardware-decoded video playback on supported AMD GPUs.

A month after releasing version 146, Mozilla has launched Firefox 147, the latest update to its popular open-source web browser, now available for download.

One of the most visible changes is the expansion of WebGPU support, which is now enabled by default on all macOS versions running on Apple Silicon. On Linux and Windows systems with supported AMD GPUs, Firefox now enables zero-copy playback for hardware-decoded video, reducing memory overhead and improving video playback efficiency.

Firefox 147 also improves desktop integration on Linux by adding support for the Freedesktop.org XDG Base Directory Specification, aligning Firefox’s configuration and data storage with established Linux desktop conventions.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

Always be civil and respectful
Don’t be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.
Don’t be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated.
Don’t post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.
Don’t post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you’re concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.
Don’t accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you’ve gotten yours.
