#3>We would however like to highlight Picture-in-picture (PIP). If you start playing a video on a web page, but then want to check out other content, you can activate PIP and keep the video playing in a small overlay while you continue to navigate the rest of the page (or other pages).
That's pretty nice.

#4Firefox is on a serious roll this year, from performance improvements to actual privacy hardening that matters. Since Chrome rolled out auto-login, I've made it my personal mission to stop using it, and now I'm realizing I haven't even installed Chrome on my newly imaged laptop. I doubt I'll have any reason to switch back.

#5> Sometimes you need to find a CSS file that defines a color, or work out which file generates a button label on a page. Full-text search makes this possible by letting you search through all resources in the Network Monitor.
This is incredible.

#6I wonder if they couldn't use Firefox Replay's features to enhance privacy: "taint" code that has touched identifying or fingerprinting information. If that code tries to exfiltrate such information, replay that data path with dummy values.
It would also be interesting to extend this to the OS level (maybe for user data first, and maybe move on to fingerprinting information later).

Wow I agree, this is one hell of an update! I'm in awe of the improvements for the developer tools.
