Firefox 143 gets Microsoft Copilot AI and Google Lens support

Mozilla plans to release Firefox 144 on October 14th, 2025.

What's new in Firefox 143? The biggest addition with this update is that Microsoft Copilot has been added to the AI chatbots available in the sidebar, joining ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and Le Chat Mistral.

Firefox 143 also adds the ability to use Google Lens to search for information on images, but this feature requires Google to be set as the browser's default search engine. It's currently rolling out gradually to users. (Lens is already available in Chrome and Opera One, and Edge has a similar function that accesses Bing.)

To manually enable reverse image searches with Google Lens, navigate to the internal configuration page by typing about:config into the address bar, then search for the browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate flag. If the value of the flag is set to "false," double-click it and change it to "true." The change should take effect immediately.

On Windows, Firefox 143 can run websites as web apps that can be pinned directly to the Windows taskbar. There's a new icon on the right-hand side of the address bar for pinning. However, this doesn't work with Firefox installed from the Microsoft Store. Linux and macOS versions of Firefox will get a similar feature later on.

Other improvements include: the ability to pin tabs by dragging a tab to the designated area at the top of the tab bar; a camera pr

Windows 11's September update is borked, won't install for some users

With it being a mandatory update, the Windows Update system will periodically keep trying to install the update even if users have declined, reports Windows Latest. That's obviously a repetitive nuisance if the update won't properly install for whatever reason.

Windows Latest has compiled a list of the various error codes that can crop up during installation of the September update, including 0x800F0991, 0x800F0922, 0x80071A2D, 0x800F081F, 0x80070302, 0x80070306, and 0x8000FFFF.

In addition, some users are saying the update takes a lot longer to download than these monthly updates usually take, although that could just be due to the fact that this particular update is larger.

Normally, it's possible to get around Windows update installation problems by circumventing Windows Update altogether and manually installing an update via the Microsoft Update Catalog. However, with update KB5065426, even this method is throwing errors for some.

According to Windows Latest, the only workaround for this issue right now is to use the Media Creation

Microsoft to offer extended Windows 10 security updates to businesses, individual users
Microsoft plans to offer extended security updates to both business and individual Windows 10 users for the first time when the operating system reaches end-of-life in late 2025.

Microsoft encouraged Windows 10 customers to begin plans to migrate to the latest version of the operating system — Windows 11 — last April with the announcement that Windows 10 22H2 would be the final version.

Windows 10 is still the most widely used version of the OS, accounting for 64% of US desktop market share, according to StatCounter's figures; that compared to 30% for Windows 11.
