Not related to this particular release, but I wish Mozilla implemented tree-style tabs as core feature (or at least provided core API). The current "Tree style tab" plugin in indispensable for me, but has to be a hack, however exquisite, especially around tab context menus.

#22When are containers going to graduate to a built-in feature rather than an extension?
I would love a way to sync my sites defined in containers, so that site A opens in the correct container on all my computers running firefox.
I would really love tabgroups to magically start working again, but I have been making due with containers. (and it does have some nice features)

#23With all these posters complaining, am I the only one who is totally satisfied with Firefox? I never had many issues using firefox. I did use Chrome briefly, but came back to firefox. If it matters, I mostly use firefox on Debian Linux and am also not a web developer.

#24"Firefox Home (the default New Tab) now allows users to display up to 4 rows of top sites, Pocket stories, and highlights" Yay, I always wanted to see more spam in it! (had the "fun" experience of needing to figure out again how to disable new spammy things from new tab page on mobile despite having already done so before)
"Highlights" is not "spam", it's pages you willingly opened and browsed through for long enough. or something. It's not useless if you're prone to rummaging through recent history trying to find that site you looked at 4 hours ago and closed, but want to find and reopen now. I wish I better understood the criteria to highlight, though.
Are you sure? Here is what "recommended by pocket", which automatically appeared recently, shows for me [edit: this is non-personalized as mentioned in a comment]:
"buzzfeednews: Teachers are moonlighting as instagram influencers to make ends meet" trending
"vox: a history of happiness explains why capitalism makes us feel empty inside" trending
"theguardian: chanel shoes, but no salary: how one woman exposed the scandal of the french fashion industry" trending
I have never visited those pages before. I had clean new tab pages showing only most commonly visited pages before, and suddenly automatically this stuff appeared in it now. I consider this spam, yes.
Also, for most commonly visited pages, all it gives me is an orange square with only an "R" in it for reddit or a green square with an "N" in it for hacker news, but for the spammy stuff above it gives full titles!

In the current FF there are regular settings to tweak or disable all of that. Similar to what you’d see in Chrome, but with more control.

#26I'm a die-hard Firefox fan. While all my colleagues develop in Chrome, I'm the weird one who uses Firefox and always catches some problem in rendering when testing. But recently I installed an 4K monitor. I use the Latest Windows 10 and have an GTX 1050 graphic card. The Firefox on this resolution is VERY slow. I have no problem in Edge or Chrome. Please, if any dev is around, check this use case.

I used Chrome exclusively for a very long time. I’ve since moved back to FF and have been much happier with it.

#28This is the feature I'm most excited about this time: > “Reopen in Container” tab menu option appears for users with Containers that lets them choose to reopen a tab in a different container This is going to make containers even more useful.
If you are using containers, New container tab [0] and Switch Container [1] were essential add-ons. Now with this feature built-in, the latter is unnecessary.
[0] Add Alt+C shortcut to open a new tab in current container: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-container...
[1] Reopen current tab in container: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-contai...

I keep trying to switch. The thing that stops me is it chokes on big single page apps. Arguably the problem is the sites being choked on (too much javascript) but there's not much I can do about that.
