A new element-specific section has been added to the pseudo-class toggle panel including a toggle for the

Web Platform
-
Firefox now supports the ariaNotify API for accessibility notifications (e.g. for screen readers) as a more ergonomic and reliable alternative to ARIA live regions.
-
Firefox now supports media element pseudo-classes (e.g.,
:playing,:paused) to allow more precise styling based on media playback state. -
Added support for the highlightsFromPoint() API, which allows web pages to interact with CSS Highlights by returning all Highlights at a given point.
-
Firefox now supports light-dark() on images, just like on colors, which is very useful for supporting dark mode on websites.

The color-mix() function previously accepted only two color values. This limitation has now been removed, allowing the function to accept an arbitrary number of colors.
-
Added support for a new
autovalue on the sizes attribute for lazy-loaded image elements with multiple images defined viasrcset. This allows the browser to automatically select the right image based on the layout width of the image element. (Learn More)
