Firefox 94

It's nice to see that there's supposed to be some performance improvements. I still miss support for FTP though. And playback of flac files with id3 headers.

I rather they didn't.

EDIT: Ah good, they have an option in the General Settings to disable the background updater.

I'm not enthusiastic these days. Which aspect of the UI will they change this time? Is there an about:config hack to get it back? And how long is that gonna work?

I think i'll have to ship a userchrome.css with my dotfiles soon.

That should be nice, I'm looking forward to poking around in there.

How considerate of them, I felt I didn't have enough auto-updating background agents yet.
