Mozilla has released Firefox 124.0. This is what the new version of the Mozilla browser brings.
What’s new is that “Caret Browsing” now also works in the PDF viewer. With Caret Browsing, which is part of the accessibility features, you can place a cursor in the text on a web page in Firefox and then control it with the arrow keys. You activate Caret Browsing in Firefox by pressing the F7 key. Click “Yes” in the popup that opens. Then click the cursor in the text and then use the arrow keys to control the cursor. Another click on F7 ends caret browsing again.
In Firefox View, you can now sort open tabs by either recent activity or tab order. Sorting by most recent activity is the default. Firefox also now uses the Windows taskbar jump list more efficiently, which should result in a snappier browsing experience.
Exciting for Mac users: Firefox on Mac now uses the macOS Full Screen API for all types of full screen windows. This should more closely match the expected macOS user experience for full-screen panels, menu bar, and the Dock.
In addition, Firefox 124 closes some security gaps. You can read the full English language changelog here.
This is how you get the update to Firefox 124
Firefox usually updates itself or applies the update after a restart. But if you want to update Firefox yourself, you can do so. Click the menu button at the top right 
and then click “Help, About Firefox”. Firefox will now show you the update and you can click on “Restart Firefox to complete the update”. That’s it.
