Kinda. It has a dark mode, but it doesn't seem to pick up the system preference.

That is one way to look at it. Personally, I don't regularly use any operating system that has such a preference. To me, FF supports dark mode, although not certain operating systems' implementations.

That preference exists on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android, so it's not an unusual expectation for users to have. Supporting system dark mode means that you can do things like have all applications automatically switch themes based on the time of day.

Revising my opinion; Firefox dev tools has a dark theme, but it doesn't support dark mode.

Just got the update on Ubuntu. The address bar looks horrible when selected [0], it outgrows its container and invades the space of tabs. I thought it was a bug at first, but it's probably intentional. is there a way to go back to the normal address bar? [0] https://imagehost.imageupload.net/2020/04/08/Screenshot-from...

about:config -> urlbar.update1 -> false -> restart firefox

Wait, Am I the only one to notice right away that FF FINALLY added a "Default Zoom" option to its settings? Or has this been there before recently and I've missed it? If this is new then THANKS 1000x. For YEARS this was my main annoyance with FF of not having a general zoom added to all webpages and was the only browser that didn't. FF would remember your set zoom for sites (provided you didn't check "site preference…

No, you weren't really missing anything, default zoom is very recent. I don't remember which version it was, but it was within the last 3. It's a big deal for accessibility.

"On Linux, the behavior when clicking on the Address Bar and the Search Bar now matches other desktop platforms" - yay, I have found it annoying that you need to double-click in order to select all and start searching

When this change was made in FF Nightly I was annoyed enough to find out why it happened and file a bug report about the regression ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1619801 , and a dupe at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621570 ), but apparently it was an intended change. What's annoying is that instead of just changing the default for Linux to be in line with other platforms, the option t…

Could you not just copy the cert from keychain to firefox’s cert store?

Not necessarily; it's possible for the certs to be copy protected.

No it isn’t.

They should fix looking up for things such as "clipboard.js" attempting to look up the domain and giving not found page. Chrome is smarter in this regard.
