Mozilla Firefox 132 Is Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New
Highlights of Mozilla Firefox 132 include support for blocking third-party cookie access with Enhanced Tracking Protection’s Strict mode, support for blocking HTTP-favicons if they aren’t served over HTTPS for improved security, and enablement of WebRender hardware accelerated rendering for most SVG Filter Primitives to improve the performance of certain graphics-heavy content.
Firefox 132 also improves the “Copy Without Site Tracking” right-click context menu option introduced in Firefox 120 to be greyed out when no known tracking parameters were found. In addition, this release brings Wide Color Gamut WebGL support to macOS and Windows users, improved support for macOS session resume, and support for the new screen and window sharing selection features on macOS 15 and later.

Firefox 132 Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New
Almost a month after the previous 131 release, Mozilla released a new version of its widely used open-source browser, Firefox v132, now available for download.
First and foremost, the update enhances privacy by expanding the capabilities of Enhanced Tracking Protection in Strict mode. This new version now blocks third-party cookie access, making your browsing experience even more secure from potential trackers.

But anyone hoping Firefox 132 would prove itself a veritable birthday piñata, fit to burst with a flurry of new features and eye-catching changes should temper their expectations.
Although Mozilla’s engineering team has several exciting new features in the pipeline—vertical tabs, tab grouping, ‘new tab’ page changes, redesigned Settings interface, and a brand-spankin’ new profile system—these features aren’t ready to unwrap – not officially, anyway.
Instead, Mozilla Firefox 132 arrives as a more serviceable update, delivering a smaller set of (nonetheless welcome) improvements, bug fixes, and laying the necessary behind-the-scenes groundwork for more eye-catching changes to come.
