The visibility of fonts to websites has been restricted to system fonts and language pack fonts in Enhanced Tracking Protection strict mode to mitigate font fingerprinting.
I’m happy to see this. It’s crazy how hard advertisers try to determine who I am when I’m actively attempting not to be shown their garbage and won’t buy it from their links. Browsers should be sending far fewer html headers, and restricting the listed fonts to a common list is a good step forward.
my list of cool features:
Gradually rolling out in Fx119, Firefox now allows you to edit PDFs by adding images and alt text, in addition to text and drawings.
If you’re migrating your data from Chrome, Firefox now offers the ability to import some of your extensions as well.
As part of Total Cookie Protection, Firefox now supports the partitioning of Blob URLs, this mitigates a potential tracking vector that third-party agents could use to track an individual.

Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) is now available to Firefox users, delivering a more private browsing experience. ECH extends the encryption used in TLS connections to cover more of the handshake and better protect sensitive fields.
Firefox is now available in the Santali (sat) language.
Several enhancements have been made to the Inactive CSS styles feature. This feature assists in identifying CSS properties that have no effect on an element. Pseudo-elements such as ::first-letter, ::cue, and ::placeholder are now fully supported.
The JSON viewer is particularly useful for debugging REST APIs, as it displays formatted JSON responses. Now, if the JSON is invalid or broken, it automatically switches to a raw data view, improving the user experience.
Grouping of items in an array (and iterables) is now easier by using the methods Object.groupBy or Map.groupBy.
The only thing I want is proper support for desktop addons on mobile.
It has already been announced and is likely to come before year-end.

Nice.
I think this is misleading. They’re offering to match your Chrome extension with an equivalent Firefox extension. But they are not providing an extension compatibility layer to run Chrome extensions.
I dont think that is misleading. They’re functionally the same extensions made by the same authors, if you trust one you trust the other.
Yeah. I agree with you. New non-tech-savvy person might misunderstand.
However, new user rarely look at the changelog. So I think this wording does not affect much.
And whether this is using equivalents or a compatibility layer, to the average non tech savvy person is irrelevant. They don’t care as long as it’s the extension they had and it works.
Waiting for vertical tabs…
Tree Style Tabs forever, baby! Simple vertical tab bars can’t even hope to compete.
I recently found Sideberry which looks like an improvement over TST, but I’ve been putting off switching to it because I would have to reorganize 431 tabs :')
just install some extention
There are extensions that do that, use those along with userChrome and you can effectively replicate the look and feel of any other browser.
