1. Captions and Subtitles in Picture-in-Picture

Released in 2019, Picture-in-Picture is one of the most favored features in Mozilla Firefox. Many users love it because it allows them to multitask while browsing and watching a video at the same time.

In this Mozilla Firefox 100 update, Picture-in-Picture also gets an awesome update. It supports captions and subtitles.

Picture-in-Picture subtitles and captions will initially be available on three websites: YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix, as well as websites that accept the WebVTT format, such as coursera.org and Twitter.

As stated in the blog, the developers expect that the new Picture-in-Picture subtitles feature will benefit hard-of-hearing, multi-tasking, and multilingual users. They would also like to see this valuable tool introduced to more sites.

Mozilla Firefox 100 now supports checking spelling in multiple languages. 

This 100th edition of Firefox has the ability to add more language dictionaries to the library. As a result, even if you are writing in a language other than English, your browser will now check your spelling.
