This time we find ourselves with a more powerful release than some of the previous ones we’ve seen lately, so we proceed to present the new features of the new version of the application.
The first thing about Firefox 113 that has been highlighted by Mozilla is the feature enhancement Picture-in-Picture (PiP), which allows you to unpin a video from the web page to be able to place it wherever the user wants. Now users can check video duration, rewind and easily switch to full screen modethings that do not hurt to reinforce one of the most outstanding features.
The address bar has been improved so that the user can view web search terms without having to scroll to the search field on the browser’s web page. In addition, a new results menu has been added that makes it easier to remove results from history and discard sponsored entries from Firefox suggestions.

On the other hand, when bookmarks are imported from Safari or a Chromium-based web browser, favicons will also be imported in order to make it easier to identify saved web pages or addresses.
