Mozilla has rolled out Firefox Version 129 of its Firefox browser, bringing significant improvements to its reader mode. This update focuses on accessibility and user experience, offering new options to customize text display and layout.
Released in mid-summer, Firefox 129 marks a modest yet meaningful evolution of the browser, emphasizing enhancements to its reader mode—a feature highly valued by users for its ability to simplify web page presentation. This new version introduces subtle but significant changes aimed at making online reading more comfortable and customizable.
More Control Over Reader Mode Firefox Version 129
Firefox’s reader mode now features a revamped “Text and Layout” menu, providing new options to tailor content display to individual preferences. Users can adjust text size, line spacing, and choose from a selection of fonts for an optimal reading experience. Additionally, Firefox 129 allows customization of text and background colors, enabling readers to create a visual environment that suits their needs, whether for reading comfort or specific accessibility requirements.
One of the most anticipated features in Firefox 129 is the tab hover preview. By hovering the cursor over a background tab, a thumbnail of its content appears in a small popup window, making it easier to find the desired tab without switching between them. Furthermore, HTTPS has replaced HTTP as the default protocol in the address bar for non-local sites, with a fallback to HTTP if the site is not available via HTTPS.
This version also includes several security fixes and improvements for developers. Firefox users can download this update by navigating to “Help > About Firefox” in the menu or by visiting the official Mozilla or NextDigitalOcean website.
