Latest Firefox Update Adds VPN Location Selector, Fresh Home Page & More

Mozilla Firefox has officially released Firefox 151. The latest version brings visible interface changes, stronger privacy protections, and a handful of surprisingly useful quality-of-life upgrades. One of the biggest highlights of Firefox 151 is the redesigned Firefox Home page.

Mozilla says the new Tab experience helps prepare the browser for upcoming features landing between Firefox 151 and 152, including widgets and shortcut improvements. Alongside the redesign, Firefox is also adding new wallpapers, which users can customize directly from the New Tab page.

Mozilla says that Firefox 151 strengthens fingerprinting protection inside Standard Enhanced Tracking Protection, which makes it harder for websites to uniquely identify users across the web. Peeer the company, the update reduces identifiable fingerprinting data by roughly 14% overall and nearly 49% on macOS systems.

Not to forget, Firefox is also getting new “End Private Session” option that instantly wipes all private browsing data without forcing users to close the entire window.

Moving on, Firefox 151 now lets users merge multiple PDFs directly inside the built-in PDF viewer. The browser is also expanding local profile backups to Linux after previously limiting the feature to Windows.

Mac users are getting several improvements as well. Firefox now properly pastes URLs copied from iPhones through Apple Universal Clipboard, while dropdown menus finally adopt native macOS styling for a more consistent system feel. Meanwhile, Firefox’s built-in VPN is getting manual location selection, which allows users choose specific countries instead of relying entirely on automatic routing. Mozilla says this feature is rolling out gradually.

As for the bugs, Firefox 151 fixes multi-monitor issues, improves image color management on macOS, enlarges the Settings search bar, and changes how geolocation permissions behave on Windows.
