Mozilla plans to release Firefox 144 on October 14th, 2025.
What's new in Firefox 143?
The biggest addition with this update is that Microsoft Copilot has been added to the AI chatbots available in the sidebar, joining ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and Le Chat Mistral.
Firefox 143 also adds the ability to use Google Lens to search for information on images, but this feature requires Google to be set as the browser's default search engine. It's currently rolling out gradually to users. (Lens is already available in Chrome and Opera One, and Edge has a similar function that accesses Bing.)
To manually enable reverse image searches with Google Lens, navigate to the internal configuration page by typing about:config into the address bar, then search for the browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate flag. If the value of the flag is set to "false," double-click it and change it to "true." The change should take effect immediately.
On Windows, Firefox 143 can run websites as web apps that can be pinned directly to the Windows taskbar. There's a new icon on the right-hand side of the address bar for pinning. However, this doesn't work with Firefox installed from the Microsoft Store. Linux and macOS versions of Firefox will get a similar feature later on.
Other improvements include: the ability to pin tabs by dragging a tab to the designated area at the top of the tab bar; a camera pr

The Acer Aspire Vero is pretty typical for a budget-to-mid-range design, omitting such niceties as a touchscreen or a face-scanning webcam. But with a 13th-gen 10-core Intel processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM (the minimum I would recommend for Windows 11), and 512GB of storage, it's got more than enough juice to power through standard student and office tasks. You can upgrade that RAM and storage fairly easily, by the way, which is great to see. With integrated Iris Xe graphics, it can handle some light gaming, too, but don't throw anything Randy Pitchford made at it.
While 15.6 inches for the 1080p screen is on the larger side, that extra space means you have room for plenty of ports, including double USB-C, double USB-A, and full-sized HDMI (handy for using the TV in a hotel room). It also has a full-sized keyboard with a number pad and a fingerprint reader. But I think the most appealing thing about this thing is the color—the recycled plastic shell comes in a speckled dark green that looks really distinctive for a budget design. The 50-watt-hour battery should last through a cross-country flight, though probably not a full 12-hour day of work and doomscrolling.
Acer is selling this Aspire Vero as refurbished from the factory, which means a nearly-new condition verified by techs who know what they're doing. The two-year warranty period is great… the fact that it's serviced by Allstate, less so. Hey, it beats the 90 days you usually get with
