"System title bar is hidden by default to match Gnome guideline for Linux users" - which part of the UI does this refer to exactly? Does this mean that Firefox will now be hiding the page title?

So what's the list of browsers now that have autoplaying blocked or have that feature planned?

So that it looks like the Windows version: title bar and tabs are together. The close and minimise buttons are to the side of the tabs.

I believe this isn’t enabled for KDE Plasma.

If you like a separate title bar like the old version of Firefox, then use the hamburger menu, choose “customise” and check the box for the title bar.

This was actually one of my major annoyances, since I use this feature often. I'm glad they added it, chances are others use it too.

I assume they mean the application window title bar which simply says Firefox on Gnome.

Odd, Firefox 65 already appears to do this under Gnome, unless I'm misunderstanding.

Could be that Ubuntu were already doing this and it has now made it upstream, I suppose.

Silly question... what do you do with Firefox and the touch bar?

Looking at the news cycle, it seems like the amount of changes is pretty low for this new version. Are they using version numbers for marketing purposes now?
