A quarter-century of Firefox (versions) Has it already been 25 versions, Firefox? Actually, given decimal versioning, it’s probably been a lot more, but this one introduces a neat new web audio feature alongside several other tweaks and fixes. Have a look.
-
Web Audio We’ll admit it – we really liked this Minecraft-y demonstration of the positional audio features new to Firefox 25. Moving around the environment changes the sound in a believable, consistent way. (And the song, by composer Adam Hagstrand, is just lovely.)

More web audio There’s even a brook nearby that babbles convincingly. Pretty cool stuff.
-
Changed the find bar The little control+F bar at the bottom-left of the window doesn’t share text between different tabs, eliminating a hinky behavior that devs had complained about in the past.

Nice to see you back! New Firefox users – or those who have returned after lengthy absences – are now automatically offered the option to import their history and settings and what-not into FF.

Stickier sessions Browser sessions will be more persistent after an update or restart, a move designed to make Firefox use more seamless, particularly on Android devices. Never fun to lose an important page.
The roadmap to a low carbon future in technology The IT sector accounts for 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions1. This will rise as data and new technologies increasingly play a central role in shaping organisational operations. As enterprises and governments introduce net zero or decarbonisation targets, IT operations will need to better understand their emissions and how they can be reduced without negatively impacting technology or business operations. SustainTech will bridge the gap between ambition and tangible action, promoting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategies that attendees can use in their day-to-day operations within their business.
