Mozilla Firefox 156 Is Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New
Highlights of Firefox 156 include improved memory and CPU usage when displaying large JPEG images that are scaled down to fit a page, improved dragging of inline images to a new position in a rich-text editor, replacing it with a long line of text instead of moving it, and improved high-sample-rate FLAC audio in MP4 playback.
Firefox 156 also improves the Split View feature so that the find bar no longer becomes permanently unavailable in a tab after reversing the panes, and improves the Picture-in-Picture feature to display subtitles in the PiP window when they are turned on in the video player after PiP was opened.

Firefox 156 reduces CPU usage when viewing JPGs
Firefox 156 is out with faster start-up times for its built-in PDF viewer and lower CPU usage when viewing large JPEG images. As you browse the web you (pretty much always) see images smaller than their native resolution. To wit, if I embed a 4K JPEG in this post, for example, you don’t see it at full size: it’s downscaled to fit on the page. Same amount of pixel data, but squeezed by CSS.
