Release build - 1.11b (2025-04-04)

Zen Stable Release

This update brings in some new QoL improvements that we think you'll love, and more stability!

New Features

• Updated to Firefox 137.0
• Added support for 'split Glance tab' in the Glance button menu
• Added support for Mica context menus and panels
• Added support for MacOS native panel backgrounds
• Mica and acrylic don't require a restart anymore to take effect
• Increased security by following Mozilla's new guidelines for parent process event handling

Fixes

• Fixed dialogs in Glance tabs shrinking
• Fixed Glance opening links that are not http(s) or files (such as magnet links)
• Fixed opening Glance tabs while in a split view
• Fixed huge performance degradation and high CPU usage when using extensions with the 'tab access' permission (#7057)
• Fixed windows showing Mozilla as Zen's vendor
• Fixed opening the certificate manager from the settings (#7083)
• Tab unloader now unloads tabs that are not in the current workspace
• Fixed tabs not moving to forced workspaces
• Media Playback Continues After Unloading a Pinned Tab (#6995)
• Fixed restoring tabs with split views making the browser not load anything
• Fixed other related workspace changing issues

Breaking Changes

• While we understand some of you used the web panels feature, recent research lead us to completely removing it due to security concerns and difficulties in maintaining it. We recommend using split views instead. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

Theme Changes

• Media query '-moz-bool-pref:' has been changed to '-moz-pref()'. This was removed in Firefox 137, but we added support for the old implementation until 138
