Firefox 160 Available With Speech-To-Text, MKV Files With FLAC / MP3 / PCM Audio

The Firefox 160.0 release builds are now available as the latest bi-weekly stable update to Mozilla's web browser. With Firefox 160 is now support for playing Matroska (MKV) files with FLAC, MP3, or PCM audio. The feature request a year ago said that MP3 supporting Matroska wasn't on their feature plans due to low usage, but in the end they decided to implement the support for MP3 along with FLAC and PCM audio. Another notable change with Firefox 160 is speech recognition side of the Web Speech API for allowing on-device, real-time Speech-To-Text support. The Speech-To-Text support integrated in Firefox works with 40 different languages. Firefox 160 also adds a new playback speech setting to the Picture-In-Picture player from 0.25x to 2.0x speed. There are also some UI refinements like increasing the contrast between the domain name and the rest of the address in the address bar.
