>Firefox will now warn you when closing a window (regardless of whether you have automatic session restore enabled for restart). To whoever is responsible for pushing this change through: Thank you.
Hopefully this is easy to disable
A question regarding the advertisements they show on the home page: https://www.neowin.net/news/firefox-640-is-now-showing-a-boo... Are these ads introduced with these updates, or does Firefox include a backdoor so the Mozilla Corporation can show whatever they want on your home page?
I feel like I've been waiting a long time for autoplay blocking - does this keep being pushed back or have I missed a feature cancellation/config setting/extension announcement?
I was hoping to see this pushed out by default because I agree that it's the best 'new' feature I've found in the browser in some time. You can change it in about:config, searching for 'media.autoplay'. I've changed the following: 1) Set 'ask permission' to true 2) Set 'block webaudio' to true 3) Set default to 2, which is 'ask per domain'.

Then Mozilla started back dooring ads and other promos and broke my trust.
I’ve since gone back to Chrome. At least there Google has the decency to make it obvious you’re being tracked, and with the new privacy controls I (hopefully correctly) feel like I can exercise some control.

Yes, it is much appreciated. Can't tell you how many times my finger has slipped and hit Ctrl+Q instead of Ctrl+W. Oh well! I didn't need all that work...
So you can't get it back? I usually use Chrome, I never lose my session no matter what I slip up to do.

I love Firefox and use it all the time, but for the last few years one of my biggest pains is the OSX performance on my Macbook Pro. Is this close to be resolved soon?
