Does it come with Mac performance improvements?
That said, I've thought this before and turned out to be wrong. But it looks like it might be real this time.

I am working on a HTML5 game which has a list of rooms, list which has a scrollbar. It looks as ugly as it can be with the default scrollbar when everything else is neatly designed and has a specific theme, it ruins the immersion and reminds you hey, this is just a browser game, not a real game. I am not saying that all the sites should have custom scrollbars, but there are definitely use cases for it.
> it ruins the immersion and reminds you hey, this is just a browser game, not a real game. If you're uncomfortable with the user realizing the game is a browser game, why did you make it in a browser?
Good work guys. For those using Firefox, I have one question. Is there any way to replicate Chrome's tab-to-search feature? It's literally the ONLY reason I'm still on Chrome. Let me explain by showing how I would search for "apples" in youtube across both browsers. Firefox: 1 - Ctrl+L (go to location bar) 2 - Type "you", press "down" to select youtube from history. 3 - Wait for site to load...... 4 - Click on search…
Yes but it isn't as good as google. Go to youtube. Right click on the youtube search bar. add a keyword for this search. choose your keyword (ex: yt) now you can type in the omnibar "yt my search" and it will do directly the search. It's not as good as chrome solution but it's the only thing for now.

Curious: How is a prompt ever better than simply expecting the user to click the play button?
We thought it could let users enable it for sites where they wanted it as a feature (netflix, youtube, games etc) Turned out to be wrong, thats why we will be shipping blocked by default
btw: Love Firefox, thanks for working on it =).

Hi, I am using firefox with duckduckgo. Firefox + DDG = Ctrl+L - Type "!yt apples", press enter https://duckduckgo.com/bang
I really wish they would implement tab stacking, that is the feature that I really miss from the old Opera, here is a video of how it looks in case you don't know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWpJvg8icmM I've tried to find an extension for FF that does this, but so far I was unable to find one.
Have you tried out TreeStyle Tabs? It has all of the stacking features I saw in that video, but doesn't have the preview features (maybe you can use it alongside another extension that provides that). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...
I think it would solve the GP comment's problem better too. There's not so much need to use multiple windows if you can just use multiple trees in the same window.
As a bonus there are many plugins for the plugin (!) such as one that lets you use the mouse wheel on it to switch tabs. [1] This is more useful in the tab tree than the normal tab strip, especially since it skips over tabs hidden in collapsed subtrees.
All that stuff about browser engine competition is great but TST is the real reason to use Firefox rather than Chrome.

Kind of a niche thing to comment on, but this release lands a commit I made that enables XDG desktop portals support in Firefox. If you're on KDE Plasma, you can run Firefox with the environment variable `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` set and it will use KDE file selection dialogs.
> We’re excited to introduce multiple tab selection, which makes it easier to manage windows with many open tabs. Simply hold Control (Windows, Linux) or Command (macOS) and click on tabs to select them. Once selected, click and drag to move the tabs as a group — either within a given window, or out into a new window. Yessss. It doesn't happen often, but the times when I open up 6-10 tabs for research but then decide…
There's still a five year old bug where firefox thinks the window has the last size from the previous session when you restart it and save open tabs, when using a tiling window manager, but it fixes itself when you manually resize it, I can learn to live with this.

I am pretty sure that changing it would be a bad idea if you care about your privacy.
Why? Is there even a way to test whether this is enabled?
