Mozilla has revealed in a recent blog entry that Firefox version 149 is set to debut next week, introducing several long-anticipated enhancements to the browser.
Among the highlights is an integrated free proxy option, first mentioned last October, which enables users to channel as much as 50 GB of monthly data via Mozilla's servers. This proxy capability will launch exclusively in the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.
Another addition is the split-screen functionality, ideal for larger displays, permitting the display of two tabs concurrently within a single window. Users will also gain the ability to attach notes to their open tabs shortly.
These updates will arrive with the release of Firefox 149 on March 24, which falls on the upcoming Tuesday. Furthermore, during the coming spring, the browser will feature a streamlined settings interface and an AI pane accessible after signing up for the waitlist.
