Earlier this week Firefox 144 was released. This release forms an exciting new milestone for view transitions, as Firefox 144 includes support for the following view transitions-related features, making them Baseline Newly available:

• document.startViewTransition(updateCallback) and the view-transition-name CSS property to create same-document view transitions.
• The view-transition-class CSS property, to style a collection of snapshots with one CSS rule.
• Support for view-transition-name: match-element, to give elements an automatically generated snapshot name.
• The :active-view-transition CSS selector, to apply specific styles to a page while a view transition is active.

These features are part of the Interop 2025 "View Transition API" focus area.

As a reminder, with view transitions you have rich visual transitions between various states of your website. In the following demo you can explore which view transitions-related features are supported by a browser. The demo itself also uses view transitions.
