Firefox 118 for developers

• The <search> element is now supported. The <search> element is a group element that serves to contain all the elements used in a search or filtering operation (Firefox bug 1824121).

• The font-synthesis-position property and position value for font-synthesis shorthand property are now supported. These allow subscript and superscript typefaces to be disabled for fonts that do not have glyphs for them when using font-variant-position (Firefox bug 1849010).
• Multiple CSS math functions are now supported: abs(), sign(), round(), mod(), rem(), pow(), sqrt(), hypot(), log(), and exp() (Firefox bug 1814589).
• A new keyword from-font in the CSS property font-size-adjust enables picking the desired <font-metric> from the first available font (Firefox bug 1708240).
• The CSS property transform-box now supports the values content-box and stroke-box. For the reference box, the content-box value uses the content box and the stroke-box value uses the stroke bounding box that contains an SVG's shape (Firefox bug 1819464).
• The CSS property font-size-adjust supports the keyword from-font that enables picking the desired <font-metric> from the first available font (Firefox bug 1708240).

• The ⊞ Windows Logo key on Windows and the Command key on macOS now return a value of "Meta" for KeyboardEvent.key, instead of "OS", and KeyboardEvent.code returns MetaLeft/MetaRight instead of OSLeft/OSRight (Firefox bug 1232918).
• The RTCRtpTransceiver.currentDirection and RTCRtpTransceiver.direction properties now support the "stopped" value for indicating whether a transceiver has stopped. This value should now be used instead of the deprecated RTCRtpTransceiver.stopped property (Firefox bug 1568296).
• The array returned by RTCPeerConnection.getTransceivers() now omits stopped transceivers. Similarly, RTCPeerConnection.getReceivers() and RTCPeerConnection.getSenders() omit the receivers and senders associated with a stopped transceiver (Firefox bug 1568296).
• The TextMetrics.emHeightDescent and TextMetrics.emHeightAscent properties are now supported (Firefox bug 1841692).

General

• Fixed an internal race condition for Android that caused the returned user prompt text to be empty for both WebDriver BiDi and Marionette (Firefox bug 1848167).
