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?
FF65 also supports WebP images and animations. Here's few test images: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/gallery1
Excellent! The number of times I've accidentally hit ctrl+q instead of ctrl+w and then had to relaunch firefox and restore my session - this will be a welcome relief.
I recently made the transition back to Firefox too, like a lot of other folks in here it seems. Containers makes working with all my AWS much easier, and the containers isolating Facebook are great. One problem though, that I can't solve, is that every once in a while I want to log in with Facebook, like for AirBnB. But I can't, because the cookie only lives in the Facebook container, but I can't add AirBnB as a host…
If you use the Multi-Account Containers extension, you can set AirBnB to always open in the "Facebook" container so it'd have access to your Facebook cookies.
I would love to switch to Firefox but it still lacks - * Per-site JavaScript controls (which Chrome has) * Pinch to zoom (on macOS) * Customisable keyboard shortcuts for Add-ons (which Chrome has) * No elastic scroll (bounce effect) (which Chrome has) I stick with Chrome as it works how I want it to although I find myself using Safari now and then but Safari's extensions are pretty crap in comparison to Chromes.

Would you happen to know how safe and separate the containers are? Like, if I had a specific container used for Banking sites, would it be relatively safe from other containers? Currently, I use Firefox for casual browsing and Chrome for email and financial related sites. But it would be nice to just use Firefox for both. I'm just worried it would be less safe.

Have you tried that again since September 2017? I can’t seem to reproduce the issue on my machine. (By the way, the link includes an extra underscore. The correct one is https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/8... )
Yes, I can still reproduce it on 64. I'm on linux though.
If I had to guess, I suspect that Firefox triggers the container switch dialog on the first network request, and that page is so optimized that after the first visit it loads entirely from cache and/or localstorage data without any network activity at all.
If true, it might be that while it didn't switch, it actually wasn't leaking data between containers at all, since there was no network activity. I'm not sure if a background request would have triggered a container switch dialog, been blocked quietly, or have been allowed through some root page permissions cascade.
I may be far off, and this is trivially checkable, but I'm out of time.
I’m a diehard Firefox user and supporter, but with every release there are still things I wait on the WebExtensions support to improve: 1. There’s still no full featured Tab Mix Plus possible with the current APIs. That’s been a big bummer for some years now. 2. The most downloaded session management extension now is still not as rich and good as the old XUL extension Session Manager (from mozdev). 3. I probably have…

1) That's not his name. 2) "Things were better before so let's revert to where we were five years ago" is a terrible strategy.
> "Things were better before so let's revert to where we were five years ago" is a terrible strategy. I mean, if things really were better before, reverting to how they were sounds like a pretty good strategy. That's kind of a tautology.

I've pretty much made the same changes. I was luke-warm on the switch from chrome to Firefox until I started using containers and CookieAutoDelete with those containers. I have a 'Google' container that preserves google cookies for when I log into gmail (transition in progress)- but otherwise google cookies get automatically deleted. There are a handful of other sites I wish to stay logged into - like github, slack,…
You like the "Temporary Containers" extension. It automatically creates a new container for every site that doesn't already have an assigned container. The temporary container (cookies, etc) get deleted 30 minutes after you close the last tab for the container's site. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...
