Zen Browser has released a new version, 1.17.10b, which brings the browser up to date with the latest Firefox version (145.0.2).

Specifically, developers have resolved issues with the download animation and the Glance feature's activation when using Ctrl or Shift while clicking links. 

Zen Browser 1.17.10b released

A new version of Zen Browser, 1.17.10b, is now available for users. This update brings the browser in line with the latest version of Firefox; it's been updated to Firefox 145.0.2.

Beyond that major upgrade, there are some other fixes packed in here too. The feedback the developers got was on the download animation; it turns out it had completely stopped working in some cases. They fixed that, so it should show correctly again now. And another issue addressed is related to activating Zen's Glance feature: previously, holding down Ctrl or Shift while clicking a link might have prevented Glance from kicking in reliably. That's sorted too.

Honestly, these changes aim to make the browser feel smoother and more stable than before. The core update helps keep things secure and performant, but it's also stuff like these specific hiccups that gets ironed out, making sure everything just works as expected.
