Firefox 141 introduces local AI to help with tab management

Mozilla plans to release Firefox 141 to the public today. The new version of the open source Firefox web browser is a smaller release, at least when you look at the changes it makes.

As always, all Firefox ESR editions are also updated. This means that Firefox 140.1 ESR, Firefox 128.13 ESR and Firefox 115.26 ESR will all be released today as well.
