HTML

Removals

MathML

Removals

  • The deprecated scriptminsize and scriptsizemultiplier attributes have been removed (Firefox bug 1772697).

CSS

  • The backdrop-filter property (which can be used to apply graphical effects such as blurring or color shifting to the area behind an element) is now available by default. It was earlier behind a preference setting (Firefox bug 1578503).
  • The scroll-snap-stop property is now available (Firefox bug 1312165). You can use this property's always and normal values to specify whether or not to pass the snap points, even when scrolling fast.
