With Mozilla's bi-weekly release cycle for Firefox, the Firefox 158 release binaries are now available. Making Firefox 158 particularly notable is finally having JPEG-XL support enabled by default.

Firefox 158 provides JPEG-XL support! At long last, Firefox 158 is ready to go with JPEG-XL image support as an alternative to the likes of WebP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. The default HTTP Accept header for image requests also now supports "image/jxl" for the JPEG-XL image format. Prior releases of Firefox had JPEG-XL gated by an experimental option.
