  • Latest version

    Version 1.9

    Released Jul 27, 2026 - 62.07 MB
    Works with firefox 109.0a1 and later
    Added
    • A tickbox column in the spreadsheet view

    Fixed
    • There is always an "Add Image" button in Background now

    Changed
    • The Spreadsheet Mode button keeps its own place on the toolbar in a feed
    • The Background section is in a clearer order — the plain colours first, then your own pictures, then the extra background pack, each row separated by a line
    • The first-run question is just the two names — the Entertainment and Productivity boxes had a line of description under each; they now show only the name

    Version 1.8

    Released Jul 25, 2026 - 62.06 MB
    Works with firefox 109.0a1 and later
    Added
    • Lantern asks how you'll use it the first time you open it
    • You can switch between those two setups any time
    • Sixteen new backgrounds
    • A red "how much you've watched" bar on video tiles, like YouTube's
    • A one-click "Quick save" badge that files a video into a playlist you pick
    • You can switch off the labels on the buttons you already know

    Changed
    • The spreadsheet button now says "Spreadsheet Mode" on it
    • The blue ⓘ button is softer, and glows — the one-time badge on the left edge that explains clicking the background to move around
    • The Import theme button says "Import theme" — it was a small round icon under your themes whose only clue was the label that appeared if you hovered it long enough
    • The spreadsheet button is called "Spreadsheet view" everywhere
    • The Copy link tile button now starts next to the Alchemy flask
    • "Add Image" and "Add Color" now sit in the same place, and say the same thing
    • Content Backdrop now shows you what each choice does
    • The Background section is tidier, and no longer scrolls inside itself
    • "Use on Every Theme" now starts switched on — one background shared by every theme is what most people expect, so that's what Lantern does out of the box
    • The plain background colors are now four: Gray, Dark Gray, Black and White
    • Sharing a theme now carries a built-in background with it
    • Your background now belongs to your theme, and lives with it
    • GIF Speed now says what it does, and picks from set speeds
    • Theme previews always show your real background now
    • "YouTube Workspace" is now called "YouTube Tabs"
    • Hover labels are now Lantern's own, instead of the browser's
    • Your settings backup now saves as an ordinary .zip too
    • A shared theme now saves as an ordinary .zip, with a note inside explaining it

    Fixed
    • The Subscriptions button now offers to add a profile when you haven't set one up yet
    • The empty strip above your tiles is gone
    • Confirmation boxes opened from Settings are no longer see-through
    • Importing a batch from your Lantern playlist now lands in the order you arranged, straight away
    • Lantern no longer reorders your YouTube playlist based on a guess
    • The "Surface Image" control no longer shows up on the plain Theme list

    Removed
    • The welcome screen on first open is gone — opening Lantern for the first time used to put a box in front of you asking for a theme and a background before you could see anything
    • Five background colors have been retired — Deep Sea, Pine, Aubergine, Umber and Fog are no longer in the list

  • Version 1.7

    Released Jul 24, 2026 - 62 MB
    Works with firefox 109.0a1 and later
    Added
    • Spreadsheet view: turn any tab page into a table of your videos and copy the rows into Google Sheets or Excel. Each video keeps a Notes column that follows it around.
    • Surface Image: one picture behind your whole homepage, with per-section overrides for the header, tiles, toolbar, Alchemy Lab and menu.
    • Choose which buttons sit on a tile's edge and drag them into place.
    • Choose what appears on the toolbar, or hide it entirely.
    • Drag or paste a picture into any image picker; "Choose Image" now opens an upload panel.
    • Finder-style Global tabs: folders, right-click menus, a "Find a tab" box (press /), and a Window sort.
    • Multi-select any tab with Ctrl or Shift click, then add the selection to a folder, move it to a new window, or close it.
    • Saved sessions and automatic snapshots in the recently closed panel.
    • Sync your Workspace to a private YouTube playlist across devices.
    • A theme shared as a file can carry its pictures, plus your font and background if you choose.

    Changed
    • Lantern runs much lighter in the background and writes to disk far less.
    • Reading your subscriptions on YouTube now clears the new-videos count.
    • Recently closed tabs are captured even when Lantern isn't open, and it keeps more of them.
    • Settings reorganised, with new Tiles, Shortcuts and Memory sections.

    Fixed
    • Your tile layout and groups now survive restarts, tab cooling and cross-device sync.
    • Dragging tiles to reorder or group them is reliable.
    • Parked videos keep the Workspace border and close properly.
    • Many playlist Sync fixes, including no longer offering back videos you already have or just closed.
