]]> Mozilla’s Firefox 103 browser is now available from FTP, the latest monthly update to the open-source, cross-platform browser. Firefox 103 is not particularly exciting for end users, but it does bring some useful features, such as highlighting required fields on PDF forms, and improved 120Hz+ display performance.

Captions and captions for Firefox picture-in-picture mode are now available for more online services, and the option to allow SHA-1 signatures for certificates has been removed.

Dailymotion, Funimation, Hotstar, Sony LIV and Tubi are now available in Firefox’s picture-in-picture mode for subtitles and captions.

Firefox 103 also fixes WebGL performance issues when running NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers on Linux with DMA-BUFF support enabled.

While you wait for the official announcement this morning, you can go ahead and download Firefox 103 from Mozilla’s FTP at

In the meantime, Mozilla Firefox 104 Beta 1 is now live, and the details of the update are unclear at this time:

]]> The graphics servers that accompany Google Stadia and Immersive Stream for Games will soon be upgraded to support NVIDIA GPUs. since its launch in 2019, Google Stadia and its underlying Immersive Stream for Games service have been powered by AMD’s custom GPUs. Researchers generally believe that Stadia’s servers run on AMD’s Radeon Pro V340 hardware or something very close to it.

According to the leaked information, Google seems to be planning to make Stadia and Immersive Stream support additional graphics hardware. This information comes from a modified version of Stadia’s Linux kernel. In a code change last month, Google has added a way for their automated builder (“Kokoro”) to include the necessary drivers for NVIDIA GPUs.

In the code it says: “Add support for kokoro job scripts to generate disks containing the corresponding support files required for UMD/KMD NVIDIA modules and instances using NVIDIA gpu’s”.

At this time, there is no clue as to which specific NVIDIA graphics cards may be used by Stadia and Immersive Stream. While AMD has long provided open-source GPU drivers for Linux devices, NVIDIA has only recently started providing the same drivers. As such, the newly included NVIDIA drivers for Stadia are (not yet) available for inspection. Despite the lack of details, the implications here are quite interesting.
