Release notes for version 1.24.2b

Zen Browser released version 1.24.2b, which moves to Firefox 159.0.1 and adds a pause button to the context menu in the downloads section.

Most of the release is fixes. Typing quickly right after clicking into the address bar or search bar no longer drops the first character. Signing in to intranet sites that use NTLM or Kerberos (Negotiate) authentication no longer freezes Zen for several seconds. Double-tapping or long-pressing a word to select it, and tapping to place the cursor, now work near the cursor in text fields. Boosts color tinting is also faster.

On macOS:

  • Links opened in the background from other apps, such as RSS readers, no longer bring Zen to the foreground.
  • Downloaded files open in the default app set in Finder, not sometimes the wrong one.
  • Simultaneous downloads finish when Zen is set to ask where to save files. Before, only the first file showed a save dialog.
  • PDFs opened in Preview from the print dialog get meaningful filenames and the usual save workflow back.
