Unless the context menu is not available, that is.
When is the context menu not be available? If the website is overriding the right click action, keep shift pressed while clicking to gain back control.
I think it has to do with iframes.

Yeah, what on Earth does he even mean by "too political". I've never seen Mozilla make "political" statements beyond their user privacy rhetoric, which Brave is far more aggressive about.
I'm almost certain they are referring to this blog post https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...
> Firefox will not prompt for access to your microphone or camera if you’ve already granted access to the same device on the same site in the same tab within the past 50 seconds. This new grace period reduces the number of times you’re prompted to grant device access. This is a super nice little QoL improvement, but I'd love to be able to configure this to be even longer (optimally by domain, but I'd love a global se…
> The ‘Take a Screenshot’ feature was removed from the Page Actions menu in the url bar. To take a screenshot, right-click to open the context menu. You can also add a screenshots shortcut directly to your toolbar via the Customize menu. Open the Firefox menu and select Customize… ...why. Obviously it's easy to add it to the overflow bar, but it was handy having it there. Especially on pages that block right-clicking…
???
Edit: Also great to see how they brush over existing users who have pinned the screenshot action to the toolbar, which is something you can do with all page actions (who knew?!).
We had discussed it before as a possibility, but I just confirmed with Romain that it's out of scope.
For reference, ~15k users have screenshots pinned to the URL bar and engaged with it within a 1 month period.
So apparently 15k people did know and now have to manually fix the regression, assuming they know how to do it. I still find it creepy that they gather data this specific, and of course users who disable "telemetry" mean nothing to them, they don't exist.
Every streaming video call I do through Firefox turns my MBP into a toaster.
According to Apple's Energy usage tool, Firefox bloats up to 70, while Safari is around 4 for the same Zoom call. Oof.
I really want to love Firefox, but it destroys my battery life. Faster than 1% per minute while on a streaming video call.

Back when I started playing D&D again, some friends stumbled across a PDF of "MPMB's character sheet" or something. Basically, it was a PDF full of scripting and options and such, that let you: * Choose which content you wanted to use (i.e. content from which sources) * Choose which rules you wanted to use (in case you wanted to use optional rules) * Choose your class, race, and background, and handle them appropriat…
The same capability is on the web at D&D Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/

You're both condescending and incorrect. Bad combination! Zero websites automatically get JavaScript access from me, and many other savvy web users. If PDFs are not subject to these same controls in Firefox, then this could be a security and privacy vulnerability.
You can just block PDFs. It is easier than blocking js in web pages.
I want to block JS in PDFs, by default, like I do in web pages.
I'd also be happy to hear that the JS runtime in PDFs is run in a tight document sandbox, operates only on a highly constrained DOM-equivalent, and has zero network or filesystem access. Seems reasonable.
Does anyone know if there is an RSS feed for release notes? I couldn't find one, and the usual adding feed.xml to the URL trick didn't work in any of the instances I tried.

Is there a substantial gap here between this new thing, your suggestion, and "remember this choice"? Trying to imagine the use case.
Firefox is using 55% of my CPU, whilst Safari is using 3%.
As someone who used Firefox exclusively back in the day (and mozilla before that), I will continue to try tests like this every time a new Firefox is released. Maybe, someday, the energy contrast will be less dramatically in Safari's favour, and I'll switch back to Firefox.
