Hopefully this fixes Firefox 74. First time in years I can say that I've had stability problems, frequent crashes, etc.

So... anyone knows how to restore old address bar look, instead of this weird popup thingy?

Built-in support for lazy image loading is pretty nice! No more annoying JS-based hacks to get it to work.

Do all the other popular browsers, like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge (the new one) and Brave, also support this?

Searched for this myself this morning, about:config and search "urlbar.update1". Set it to False and completely restart FF.

It looks like the Blink based browsers do. https://caniuse.com/#feat=loading-lazy-attr

Nice to see Mozilla keeping up. Don't really have much reason personally to use Firefox nowadays though due to the new Microsoft Edge being so good.

They mention in the post that Chrome has implemented lazy loading for both images and iframes, suggesting it's also in Edge and Brave.
