No notable changes.
JavaScript
-
The methods
Array.prototype.findLast()
,Array.prototype.findLastIndex()
,TypedArray.prototype.findLast()
, andTypedArray.prototype.findLastIndex()
are now supported. These are used to find the value and index (respectively) of the last element in anArray
orTypedArray
that matches a supplied test function. (See Firefox bug 1775026 for more details.) -
Serialization of native Error types additionally includes the
stack
property when used withwindow.postMessage()
andstructuredClone()
(on error types that includestack
). Thestack
is not yet serialized when errors are sent using other APIs, such asWorker.postMessage()
(See Firefox bug 1774866 for more details.)

APIs
DOM
-
HTMLElement.focus()
now supports the parameteroption.focusVisible
, which can be used force a browser to display visual indication after the element is focused. Note that browsers may automatically provide visual indication on focused elements if the implementation determines that it will improve accessibility. (See Firefox bug 1765083 for more details.)
Canvas
- The
fontKerning
property is now supported onCanvasRenderingContext2D
andOffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D
, enabling developers to specify how kerning is used when text is drawn to a canvas or an offscreen canvas (Firefox bug 1778908).
SVG
-
The
SVGStyleElement.disabled
property can now be used to disable or enable an SVG style element, or to check its disabled state. This mirrors the behavior ofHTMLStyleElement.disabled
. (See Firefox bug 1712623 for more details.)
Removals
-
The
options
argument to theIDBFactory.open()
method has been removed. This option provided a non-standard, and Firefox-only way to make the indicated database persistent. The option was previously deprecated, and users that need this functionality should already have migrated toStorageManager.persist()
. (See Firefox bug 1354500 for more details.)
WebAssembly
