* Firefox 81 is in the Beta channel and hits our stable release channel tomorrow, September 22nd. This release brings keyboard or headset control for audio and video, features to save, manage, and auto-fill credit card information, WebRTC changes that improve video conferencing with Jitsi, improved picture-in-picture discoverability, and more accessible audio and video controls.
* Firefox 82 was in the Nightly channel for the last week and during that time it received about 350 changes, including these notable one:
**[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1652784 about:processes got a significant clean-up.] The most prominent change is that threads have been moved out of the default view and are now only avaiable via the about:config pref "toolkit.aboutProcesses.showThreads".** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1665496 The previously experimental MediaSession API has been enabled by default.] This feature, which allows a web authors to provide custom behaviors for standard media playback interactions, is intended to ride the trains to the 82 release.** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520779 Firefox now properly supports the paragraph resolution for screen readers like NVDA.] Previously, screen readers would fall back to line resolution. ** A regression that caused [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1664838 some content to not render after scrolling,] breaking many sites, was quickly fixed.** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492320 On Mac Firefox, users can now use the "undo close window" keyboard shortcut] even after the last window is closed.** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613785 Firefox now uses tab-modal prompt dialogs for HTTP authentication.] ** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1664899 The picture-in-picture button has a new look and position] which should make it easier to find and use.** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1659877 Printing dialog errors for invalid form entries are now reported to screen readers.]** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1656526 The very beginnings of a new startup architecture landed behind a registry switch]. This approach will eventually show a skeleton of the browser before the full browser has loaded.]
