Firefox 131 Beta Improves Translations, Adds Temporary Site Permissions
Firefox 131 looks like another small update to the popular web browser that further improves the built-in translation feature by remembering languages you have previously used for translations when suggesting a default translation language.
The upcoming Firefox release will also temporarily remember when users grant permissions to websites, such as geolocation. According to Mozilla, these temporary permissions will be removed automatically when the tab is closed or after one hour if the tab remains open.

Firefox 130 lands with a yawn, but 131 teases a key upgrade
Under Settings, there's also a new Labs page, which lets you enable experimental features. This reminds us of the comparable feature in Gmail, which sadly disappeared about three years ago, taking selective quoting in email replies with it. For now, Firefox 130's experimental features are one we'll never use, and one we probably won't want. You can add a so-called AI Chatbot feature in a sidebar for all your automated plagiarism needs – and if you switch tabs away from one playing a video, the video can automatically shrink into a picture-in-picture mode and follow you.
