Zen Browser 1.21.2b Update Patches Critical Security Flaws and Fixes Tab Routing Bugs
Zen Browser 1.21.2b drops a necessary security update that patches multiple high severity memory corruption and sandbox escape flaws inherited from the Firefox 152 engine. The release finally resolves persistent tab routing bugs that previously overwrote active windows and forced background tabs to steal focus during multitasking. Users on Windows and Linux will appreciate the new context menu option for copying links directly from the tab bar, while finer zoom increments give better control over page scaling. Inline downloads like PDFs now open in background tabs instead of hijacking the current view, which keeps research sessions intact without constant navigation loss.
