Firefox 157 Launches With Visual Refresh and AV1 Gains
Original: Firefox 157 Now Available With Visual Refresh, WebRTC Hardware AV1 Decode
Mozilla has released Firefox 157, its latest stable browser version, headlined by a visual refresh of the interface and support for hardware-accelerated AV1 decoding in WebRTC video calls. The update should reduce CPU load and improve battery life during video conferencing on machines with capable hardware. Coverage so far comes from tech outlets such as Phoronix, with early reader discussion focused on the redesigned UI.
Why now: A major Firefox release shipping notable UI and video-decoding changes naturally draws attention from tech users and reviewers.
