How Nonprofits Run the Internet

With the near-constant stream of advertisements, sponsored content, and brand deals we see every day online, it can start to feel like the Internet is all about profit. While it is true that a lot of people make money on the Internet, nonprofits are actually at the heart of keeping it running.

The Internet Society at IGF 2025 in Norway (The Who, What, When, Where, and Why)

How the Internet is managed—its governance model—has a direct impact on how it is used, evolves, and on users’ daily life. We believe that the best way to do it is through an inclusive collaboration model (the multistakeholder model), and the Internet Governance Forum is one of the main global platforms where that governance is practiced. As IGF comes to its 20th edition, the last of its mandate, a sense of urgency arises as we approach a critical time towards the World Summit on the Information Society 20-year review (WSIS+20) that will take place later this year.

Firefox 139 Web Browser Is Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New

posted by Marius Nestor on May 26, 2025,
updated May 27, 2025

Mozilla Firefox 139 looks like a small update that only introduces support for full-page translations within Firefox extension pages, support for transparent PNG images when they’re pasted into Firefox, and improved upload performance of HTTP/3.

For web developers, Firefox 139 promises timer throttling support for Workers, support for the WebAuthn largeBlob extension, support for requestClose() to HTMLDialogElement, and support for the hidden=until-found attribute, which allows content to be found via find-in-page when it’s otherwise hidden by default.

Firefox 139.0 Added Link Preview & Custom Wallpaper for New Tabs | UbuntuHandbook

The new 139.0 release of Firefox web browser is finally available to download after 10 beta testing releases.

The official release note for this version is not ready at the moment of writing. According to its Github releases page, it includes some exciting new features.

Firefox 139 Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New

Almost a month after releasing version 138, Mozilla has launched Firefox 139, the latest update to its popular open-source web browser, now available for download.

The main highlight of the new version is that Firefox can now perform full-page translations inside extension pages, not just on ordinary websites.

Moreover, PNG images keep their transparency when pasted into the browser, a quality-of-life tweak designers have requested for ages.

Uploading large files should also feel snappier on high-bandwidth, high-latency lines, thanks to better HTTP/3 performance during 0-RTT resumption.

Firefox 139 Brings Custom New Tab Wallpapers, Better Upload Speeds - OMG! Ubuntu

Not that every release can be a certified banger, of course.

We have been spoiled of late: Firefox 136 delivered long-awaited vertical tabs, Firefox 137 introduced tab grouping and big address bar changes, while last month’s Firefox 138 release debuted a proper profile manager/switcher (and more).

The headline change in Firefox 139, per its release notes, is full-page translations on extension pages (but only if they start with the moz-extension:// URL scheme). Mozilla say this delivers a “popular request” from users.

Elsewhere, Firefox 139 now lets you set a custom New Tab wallpaper or background colour. You can upload any image (in a supported file format), or dial in a specific colour (this uses the underlying OS colour palette tool).
