    Yes. Containers will be enabled by default in the regular release without the need to install the extension or flip a preference in about:config. It's also planned to integrate the…

    We implemented this in the Daily build of the desktop app last year, using a staging environment for Firefox Sync. But Firefox Sync is called Firefox Sync because it’s built for Fi…

    Exactly this. Plus, I rarely have over 20 tabs and even when I'm close to that number I mainly use the 10 first ones. Vertical tabs is a cool feature but both modes are useful depe…

    There's also a nice website to see what landed in a specific Nightly build https://mrotherguy.github.io/fx-nightly-changelog/

    Folks on HN are good to talk the talk but not really to walk the walk. Not only they could give to developers or company like Igalia but they could also get a Firefox Relay/VPN sub…

    1. It was for squingz 2. No one is forcing you to use Firefox. You don't even pay for it. You should have read the Open Source license buddy.

    You can do the same with Firefox. Simply use Beta, Dev Edition or Nightly. The first two are very stable. You just need to flip `xpinstall.signatures.required` to `false` in about:…

    Before FPI, containers were a good way to isolate cookies. Nowadays, it's a bit less useful for that. However, it still offers a nice solution to connect to multiple accounts simul…

    It has its own client application so it's a little more than simply relabelling a product. I find Mozilla client easier for less techy people so I guess both products complement th…
