We would like to express our special thanks to all the developers, users, and contributors who contributed to this release.
🙇 Apology
To all Floorp users,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the v12.15.0 update, where we failed to properly address the multiple breaking changes introduced in Firefox 152.
Firefox 152 included several breaking changes to internal APIs and behavior. Without sufficient verification, we proceeded with the release, resulting in extension compatibility issues, UI rendering problems, and stability concerns. We should have acted promptly to roll back upstream changes, but our response was delayed.
Based on this experience, we will strengthen our verification process and establish a faster response framework for handling breaking upstream changes.
⭐️ New Features
Command Palette gets even more powerful
The Command Palette introduced in v12.14.0 gains major search and action improvements in v12.15.0. Press F2 (default) to open the palette and type a keyword to jump to any action.
Improved Japanese search with Budoux morphological analysis support.
Multi-step wizard commands
Complex actions that require multiple inputs are now guided step by step:
Enter a URL and choose where to open it (new tab, current tab, new window, etc.).
Pick a search engine, then enter your query.
Select from your registered containers to reopen the current tab.
The wizard walks you through URL entry and destination selection.
New switchers
Quickly jump to history entries, bookmarks, open tabs, recently closed tabs, and recently closed windows
all from the palette. History and bookmark results support async search with pagination (load more).
Switch between open tabs or recently closed tabs from a single list.
Tab management commands
Tab bar actions can now be performed from the Command Palette:
- Close Other Tabs
- Close Tabs to Start / End (supports vertical tab orientation)
Improved search
especially for Japanese
- Budoux morphological analysis
splits Japanese, Chinese, and Thai command labels into meaningful segments (e.g., "タブ閉じる" → "タブ" + "閉じる")
type "bookmark" in Japanese locale to find bookmark-related commands
New mouse gesture actions
- Open Settings / Open Floorp Hub
- Toggle Share Mode
- Copy page URL as Markdown

Drag and drop tabs into Split View
Dragging a tab onto the split view area shows a drop overlay indicating where the tab will land.
Drop zones for left, right, top, bottom, center, and new window.
| Drop zone | Action |
|
|
|
| Left / Right | Horizontal split |
| Top / Bottom | Vertical split |
| Center | Add as a new pane |
| New window | Open in a separate window |
Mouse gesture commands for split view operations (open/close panes, swap, cycle layout, etc.) have also been added.
Refined Floorp Start and Hub appearance
Top site tiles on Floorp Start and sidebar items in Floorp Hub have been visually refined
improved hover visibility and tighter spacing between clickable Hub items.
For a deeper look at Floorp Start, see our Floorp Start feature spotlight.
Thanks: @CutterKnife
macOS shortcut editor improvements
On macOS, modifier keys (⌘, ⌥, etc.) are now displayed with platform-native formatting in the shortcut editor.

🧪 Floorp Flasco
- Assign containers to Progressive Web Apps is now available in Floorp Flasco.
Assigning a container to a Progressive Web App
When this feature is enabled, you can choose which container to assign when installing a web app.
It also supports opening multiple containers, so you can run a container-based PWA separately from a regular PWA that uses the default container. In other words, you can open the same website as separate PWAs
one per container.
This is an experimental feature and is planned to move to the stable channel in a future release.
