Engine

Updated Gecko to FIREFOX_153_0_RELEASE@f1b6c0f (released Jul 21, 2026).

0.8.0 alpha

Changes

Full Changelog: 0.7.0...0.8.0

New Features

Added iCloud OTP and Passwords autofill.

Note: Due to the lack of private entitlements, a few functions will not work as intended:

• OTP codes from Messages will not autofill.
• The OTP autofill chip will be shown as a generic Passwords chip on the keyboard. To fill an OTP code from iCloud Passwords, tap the Passwords chip, browse to the account requesting the code, and tap its OTP code.
• To bring a Safari-like password autofill experience, Reynard uses a custom reimplementation of how Safari classifies login, registration form, and OTP field elements. It covers most cases but does not fully match Safari's accuracy, so false positives may occur.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Videos and audio inside link previews are now muted.
• The app's language setting now uses the full language reported by iOS.
• Fixed an issue where opening a link preview would cause visited links to lose their purple color.
• Downloading files from some file sharing services now works correctly.
• Fixed the empty selection highlight appearing when deleting long text.
• Fixed an issue where blank spaces would appear or text would be deleted after dictation ends.
• Fixed an issue where videos could not be unpaused using headphones.
• Fixed the media seeking buttons not working on the Lock Screen and in Control Center.
• Prompt elements now appear correctly on add-on popups.
• Fixed an issue where a long add-on list on the address bar menu would flicker while scrolling.

Translations

Added Simplified Chinese and French translation.
