Log Message:
www/firefox: Update to 135.0
Changelog:
135.0:
New
* Firefox Translations now supports more languages than ever! Pages in
Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean can now be translated and Russian
is now available as a target language for translating into.
* The credit card autofill feature is now being gradually rolled out to all
users globally.
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
* AI Chatbot access is now being gradually rolled out to all users. To use
this optional feature, choose AI Chatbot from the sidebar or from Firefox
Labs. Then, complete the provider selection to see the chat interface
become available on the sidebar.
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
* Firefox now enforces certificate transparency, requiring web servers to
provide sufficient proof that their certificates were publicly disclosed
before they will be trusted. This only affects servers using certificates
issued by a certificate authority in Mozilla's Root CA Program.
* Additionally, the CRLite certificate revocation checking mechanism is also
being gradually rolled out, substantially improving the performance of
these checks.
This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
* Firefox now includes safeguards to prevent sites from abusing the history
API by generating excessive history entries, which can make navigating with
the back and forward buttons difficult by cluttering the history. This
intervention ensures that such entries, unless interacted with by the user,
are skipped when using the back and forward buttons.
* Users on macOS and Linux are now given the option to close only the current
tab if the Quit keyboard shortcut is used while multiple tabs are open in
the window.
Fixed
* Made improvements to the Translations feature which will reduce the
likelihood that models will invent new, made-up words under some
circumstances.
* Various security fixes.
Changed
* The refreshed New Tab layout previously rolled out in Firefox 134 to users
in the United States is now being made available in all countries where
Stories are available. It features a repositioned logo to prioritize Web
Search, Shortcuts, and Recommended Stories at the top. The update also
includes changes to the card UI for recommended stories and allows users
with larger screens to see up to four columns for better use of space.

This feature is part of a progressive roll out.
* The "Do Not Track" checkbox has been removed from preferences. If you
wish to ask websites to respect your privacy, you can use the "Tell
websites not to sell or share my data" setting instead. This option is
built on top of the Global Privacy Control (GPC).
* The "Copy Without Site Tracking" menu item was renamed to \
"Copy Clean Link"
to help clarify expectations around what the feature does. "Copy Clean
Link" is a list based approach to remove known tracking parameters from
links. This option can also now be used on plain text links.
* Linux binaries are now provided in XZ format, replacing the previous BZ2
format, offering faster unpacking and smaller file sizes.
