Mozilla Thunderbird 160 adds support for the Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut for selecting all filters in the Message Filters dialog, improves OAuth sign-in windows to explain when blocked cookies may prevent sign-in, and updates Office 365 account setup to no longer automatically offer EWS configuration.
The fixes include CVE-2026-109091, a vulnerability that could allow a malicious monitor or crafted EDID to supply extra descriptors that overrun those arrays and clobber adjacent MonRec fields (Modes, Last, DDC), causing an out-of-bounds write that can crash the server or corrupt memory.
Coming four months after Blender 5.2 LTS, the Blender 5.3 release enables the Vulkan backend by default on Linux, replacing the OpenGL backend, with the minimum Vulkan requirements being lowered to Vulkan 1.1 and some GPU/driver features made optional to support more devices.
Coming two weeks after KDE Plasma 6.8.2, the KDE Plasma 6.8.3 release improves support for multi-screen setups so that the position of icons no longer gets scrambled when one screen is disconnected at the same time as another one is connected.
Coming three months after Mesa 26.2, the Mesa 26.3 release introduces Vulkan 1.3 support for the PanVK Vulkan driver on Arm Mali v6 and v7 GPUs, OpenGL ES 3.0 support in the etnaviv driver for Vivante GPUs on HALTI5 hardware, and support for the Mali G68 GPU on Panfrost, the Mali G715 and G615 GPUs on Panfrost and PanVK, and the BXM-4-64 GPU on the PVR driver.
Mozilla Firefox 160 introduces Mini Window, a feature that lets you move a tab or a selected part of a page into an always-on-top window while you browse, a new playback speed setting for the Picture-in-Picture player with options ranging from 0.25x to 2.0x speed, and support for playing Matroska (MKV) files with FLAC, MP3, or PCM audio.
Firefox 161 looks like a small update that only introduces the ability to copy the current tab’s URL with a keyboard shortcut. No shortcut is assigned by default for this feature, so you can choose your own key combination in Firefox’s Settings, under Customize keyboard shortcuts.
This version includes important security updates to Firefox.
