Mozilla’s Firefox 94 web browser is now available for download ahead of the official launch on November 2nd, 2021.

The biggest new feature of the Firefox 94 release is the enablement of the EGL (OpenGL) API for handling graphics context management on X11 for Intel/AMD users using recent Mesa graphics stacks.
