Mozilla plans to release a point update for its Firefox web browser later today, targeting security vulnerabilities while also resolving several non-security-related issues in the open-source platform.
The upcoming update, Firefox 135.0.1, appears about two weeks after the launch of the last major iteration, Firefox 135, on February 5, 2025. This security update will be gradually rolled out to the majority of Firefox installations. Users wishing to speed up the update can manually check for it within the browser once it is made available.
Notable Changes in Firefox 135.0.1
- Mozilla has identified four non-security fixes in its release notes. This update addresses the following concerns:
- Not all users encountered these issues, as their occurrence largely depended on individual usage patterns.
- It is recommended that all Firefox users update their browsers promptly, as this release also addresses security vulnerabilities.
- As for the specific security issues being rectified, Mozilla has not yet revealed this information for the point update. Details typically follow shortly after the official launch. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
How to Manually Check for Updates in Firefox
Note: The manual update check feature will only function after Mozilla officially launches Firefox 135.0.1.
To check for updates, please follow these steps:
- Open the Menu in Firefox.
- Select the Help option from the context menu.
- Click on About Firefox.
The browser will display the currently installed version and will search for updates to automatically download any newer versions. The latest update will install automatically, requiring a restart of Firefox to complete the process.
New users can download the most recent version of Firefox directly from Mozilla’s website.
Firefox 135.0.1 represents the first point update for Firefox 135. The previous major release introduced several attractive features to the stable versions of the browser, including support for translating Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean via its privacy-focused translation system.
