Zen Stable Release
This update includes several fixes, security updates, and a few changes! We've bundled the updates for Firefox 139.0 and 139.0.1 into the same release. Since Firefox 139.0 had some rendering issues on Windows for NVIDIA users, we waited an extra day to release this update to ensure the issues were resolved.
New Features
- Updated to Firefox 139.0 and 139.0.1
- Added automatic updates for mods
- Auto tab unloader now uses Firefox's default tab discarding feature, which is based on time and memory usage, instead of the previous time-only method
- Improved performance for rendering rounded corners in the webview
- Enabled the browser to prioritize more important processes when Zen is under memory pressure on macOS
- The context menu item 'Search text on search engine' now opens Glance instead of a new tab
Fixes
- Pinned and essential tabs not restoring their icons correctly
- Other issues with split views and Glance
- Compact mode should now work correctly after closing the window — please let us know if you still experience issues

Zen Stable Release
This new release updates Firefox to the latest version which fixes various security issues.
New Features
- Updated to Firefox 138.0.4
- Better compact mode support for multiple toolbars.
Fixes
- Compact mode showing 'tab opened in the background' when having multiple toolbars.
- An issue with GTK popups having low contrast.
- Tabs not being able to unload after closing Glance.
- An issue with updating invalid mods clearing the mod list.
- An accessibility issue with the scrollbar on the sidebar.
- Opening a new link in split view while having Glance open.
- 'All tabs' menu not showing any text when collapsed toolbar is enabled.
Breaking Changes
- The customizable UI on the tab strip (located between the top and bottom icons) has been discontinued due to the way the internal layout functions—buttons placed in that area are automatically removed. While it’s possible to re-enable this feature by doing some hacky CSS, doing so may lead to instability or breakage, and is not officially supported.
Theme Changes
- Changed the layout of workspaces and their icons internally to provide a more stable layout that doesn't require floating elements. We finally managed to get it to how we wanted it to be, so it will change less in the future.

Zen Stable Release
Just a small update to fix some bugs and introduce some minor features!
New Features
- Added a new preference in about:preferences -> 'Startup'. Continue where you left off allows you to keep browsing from your last selected tab, whether it's pinned or not.
- Enabled 'auto theme' by default, which will automatically switch between light and dark mode based on the system theme. Only new installs and profiles will have this enabled. (you can enable it in about:addons -> themes)
- Added a nice UI for 'switch tab' on the URL bar, thanks to @ferrocyante on GitHub!
- (experiemental) MacOS users will now restore tabs correctly, even after closing all windows instead of quitting the app.
- Better toast notifications and added 'opened background tab' toast if compact mode is enabled
Fixes
- Fixed essentials/pinned tabs not loading if 'reset to default on startup' is enabled.
- Fixed context menu allowing the user to remove the last workspace
- Fixed animations for glance's buttons and unfocusing the URL bar, as well as enter/exit animations for compact mode
- Fixed accessibility issues with the URL bar on light mode. Also centered the URL bar to the screen.
- Fixed some issues with right side tabs on collapsed mode
- Fixed some issues with importing mods
