Firefox 97 is out, and it’s a big release. It includes a lot of new features, but it also removes some of the older ones. If you’re not familiar with Firefox, here’s a quick overview: Firefox is Mozilla’s web browser. It was first released in 1997 and has been used by millions of people around the world. Firefox 97 is out now, and it includes many new features. However, there are also some changes that you may want to be aware of if you use Firefox: Some themes have been removed from Firefox 97. These include the default theme (the one that comes with the browser), the dark theme, and the light theme. If you’re using one of these themes, be sure to remove it before upgrading to Firefox 97!
If you’re a Firefox user, it’s time to get excited because there’s a new version of the browser available to download right now. Firefox 97 removes the colorway themes and adds Windows 11-style scrollbars to the browser (along with the usual set of fixes and tweaks).
The most significant change that made its way to Firefox 97 is the removal of the colorway themes, which were always meant to be available for a limited time. They were added in Firefox 94, so they made it through a few versions before being retired, as was the plan.
Thankfully, if you really like the colorway themes, you can keep your favorite one by having it enabled when the feature expires. You won’t be able to switch between all 18 after that, but at least the theme you’ve enjoyed for the last couple of months will stick around.
Another notable change is that Firefox now supports the new style of scrollbars on Windows 11, which means the browser will blend in better with the rest of Microsoft’s operating system. While the scrollbars didn’t exactly break the browser experience, it’s still nice to have it blend in a little better with the OS.
Mozilla also released some minor tweaks and fixes for its browser in Firefox 97. You can download the latest version of the browser right now and give it a try for yourself.
