Mozilla plans to release a second point update for Firefox 134 later today. Firefox 134.0.2 is another non-security update that addresses a few pressing problems in the browser that had to be fixed early.
Most Firefox installations will be upgraded automatically once the update is released. As this does not happen in real-time, some users may want to trigger the update manually instead.
How to update Firefox: One easy way of doing so is to select Menu > Help > About Firefox. The browser displays the current version and runs a check for updates. It should pick up the latest, download it and install it. A restart is required to complete the process.
Good to know: Firefox 134.0.1, released last week, fixed an issue on YouTube and a crash issue.
Firefox 134.0.2: the changes
The official release notes are not available yet. Mozilla will publish them later today on this page.
Here is a quick overview of the included fixes:
- After a crash, the crash reporter was not displayed for some localized builds.
- Anchored links in HTML framesets pointing to local files did not work.
- Network requests could not be resend in the Developer Tools when debugging extensions.
- Data consumption from service works could unexpectedly halt.
Most Firefox users should not be affected by any of these issues, as they apply mostly to edge cases or development related cases.
Suggested course of action: Since the release does not fix any security issues, most users should not feel pressed to install the update immediately.
The next major release happens on February 4th, which is about two weeks from today.
