Mozilla 已发布 Firefox 153,这是专为企业和教育环境设计的最新长期支持版本(ESR),旨在提供长期稳定性。 此次更新的一个重要亮点是引入了初步的 Vulkan Video 解码支持。这一跨平台接口为视频加速 API(VA-API)提供了一种现代替代方案,有望在不同供应商的硬件上实现更好的硬件加速,包括为 NVIDIA 用户提供更好的兼容性。 除了硬件方面的改进,Firefox 153 还对 PDF 处理进行了多项增强,并扩展了对 Windows 系统上 HDR 视频播放的支持。此次更新还延续了 Mozilla 在 JPEG-XL 图像格式上的工作,用户仍可通过“Firefox Labs”设置对其进行测试。发布版本现已可通过 Mozilla 的官方 FTP 服务器下载。

Firefox 已合并了对 Vulkan 视频解码的支持,该进展近期在 Bugzilla 和 Phoronix 上受到关注。此消息在 Hacker News 上引发了关于硬件加速解码效率的技术讨论。 虽然通常认为基于 GPU 的解码比软件解码更节能,但一些用户指出,在特定的 Linux/NVIDIA 配置下,硬件加速反而可能消耗更多电量。这引发了关于集成显卡(iGPU)与独立显卡(dGPU)之间效率权衡的讨论。参与者指出,使用独立显卡通常会产生额外的功耗,因为需要维持 PCIe 链路和显存的活跃状态,而集成显卡或软件解码在某些硬件架构下可能更节能。讨论强调了硬件加速的优势高度依赖于用户具体的 CPU 和 GPU 配置。

Mozilla has uploaded the Firefox 153.0 release binaries today for the newest monthly update to this cross-platform web browser. Making Firefox 153 exciting is that it's the newest Extended Support Release "ESR" as well as introducing Vulkan Video decode support.

Firefox 153 is the newest ESR release designed for enterprises, schools, and other organization for long-term stability.

On the feature side, Firefox 153 introduces Vulkan Video decoding support. Firefox on Linux to date has focused on the Video Acceleration API (VA-API) that works well for some vendors but lacks official support from NVIDIA unless using the independent NVIDIA-VAAPI driver project that layers VA-API on NVDEC. There are also various embedded drivers and more not supporting VA-API. Now with Firefox there is initial Vulkan Video decode support for that modern, cross-vendor and cross-platform video acceleration interface.

Firefox 153 on Linux


Firefox 153 also brings a number of PDF enhancements, continued enablement around JPEG-XL, HDR video playback on Windows, and more.

Firefox 153 Labs


Within the Firefox Labs area is where the experimental support for the JPEG-XL image format can be enabled. More details within the beta release notes.

Firefox 153 release binaries can be downloaded from ftp.mozilla.org.
