🚨 Before you install Floorp v12 beta 🚨
Floorp v12 can be installed on the same environment as Floorp v11, but please make sure to back up your profile from v11 before attempting the installation. Especially for the workspace feature, there is no compatibility due to changes in the configuration⚠️.

This version also introduces a new technology called “Artifact Build”. With this, the release time has been drastically reduced to just a few minutes⏱️✨.
✨ What’s New in Floorp v12?
🔧 Revamped Floorp Settings
The new Floorp v12 now features a separated settings page to prevent confusion with Firefox’s built-in settings. This makes it easier to use Floorp’s unique features while reducing the risk of mixing them up with Firefox functions. The new modern design also looks pretty cool, and we will continue improving it in future updates!
🚀 Rapid Release Tracking
As previously announced, starting with Floorp v12, we are adopting Rapid Release Firefox as our base for the first time since Floorp v8! This means you can enjoy the latest Firefox features while experiencing all the new innovations from Floorp.
🖥️ Refined Workspaces & Sidebar
The Browser Manager Sidebar has been renamed to the “Panel Sidebar”, and it now features a floating mode for more flexibility. Additionally, workspaces are now shared across windows, making multitasking even smoother.
⚠️ Note: Workspace management and adding panel sidebars via the dialog are still under development and will become available in future updates.
🛠️ About the Artifact Build
This version also introduces “Artifact Build”, a new technology that significantly reduces release time to just a few minutes⏱️✨.
However, as a result, even in the BETA version of Floorp v12, the application icons on Windows and Mac remain the same as the regular version. We apologize for any confusion this may cause🙏.
🙏 Special Thanks
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to @NyanRus for co-creating Noraneko, the testbed browser that laid the foundation for Floorp v12 BETA. Additionally, we express our appreciation to Mozilla for developing Firefox, the origin of all these features.
