This release really seems broken to me. Tree Style Tabs broke completely, and i have problems with non-responsive windows

It doesn't matter though, the tracking domain would run in the container and github outside it.
The browser have to intercept 302 redirects and javascript .location assignments, open safe locations in a different container. Would that be a new window or the same window but with container change? In the former scenario you'd basically get 2 new tabs, in the later you'd have a tab represent two different containers based on where you navigate in history. Either way it sounds unsavory.
Firefox already does what you describe. It's a new tab.

#123Eagerly awaiting a Firefox release that improves power consumption on Mac to a point where it is at least close to competitive with Safari. That, plus the rumors that iOS will soon allow 3rd party default browsers and I'm all in Firefox for sure.
I'm on a 2019 Macbook Pro and my battery lasts for hours. Then again, I haven't run Safari for an extended period of time.
Well of course it lasts "for hours", what would the alternative be? A brand new laptop dying in minutes?

#124A new Firefox release, a new reminder that Firefox hasn't implemented native context menus in macOS for 20 years.
Try MaterialFox (https://github.com/muckSponge/MaterialFox). It smooths out many of the rough edges that make Firefox feel a bit clunky on macOS.

That's not what he (and I and many others) are asking for. The site linked to is not assigned to any container. It opens in the old container, while it should open in the default container.
I'm just trying to help. The idea of having a link clicked inside a container and expect it to go to a different container as a default setting, seems to contradict web standars. Now, if you've explicitly assigned the clicked domain to a different container, then yes, it should go to its container (which is how it works, to me at least).
I'm simply explaining something you hadn't understood.
But I'm not aware of any "web standard" codifying container behaviour.

Why use lock wise over say. 1password or LastPass ?
Because I trust Mozilla with my data. Would love it to support alternative backends, like NextCloud, though.
I would suggest bitwarden, it's fully open source.
I switched to it from Mozilla, mostly because of the sharing.

#127I wish Firefox had a good multi-account support like Chrome has. That, and the fact that iOS 14 might allow to set your default browser would make me move to use Firefox everywhere.
Obligatory "Firefox on iOS isn't really Firefox, as iOS App Store rules ban browser engines" reply. ALL iOS browsers are basically just skins on top of Safari's WebKit. See 2.5.6 here - https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
An off topic question, but I would appreciate feedback: I have tried the DuckDuckGo browser on my iPad, and it seems like it provides good privacy features even though it is layered on WebKit. Any opinions of DuckDuckGo vs. Firefox on iOS?

#129I still find it somewhat surprising that the FreeBSD pkg is already there, just hours after release.
Just note that Firefox (any version) won't be in the quarterly repository for a few days due to a dependency problem, at least for 12.1-RELEASE:

Re: Firefox 74
#130It says a lot that there's a new feature bullet for Facebook alone. I wonder if at some point Firefox is going to be so effective at hampering FB's goals that FB decides it needs to be crushed
Firefox has (unfortunately) such an insignificant share that it doesn't make any difference. Also many companies don't even bother officially supporting it any more.
Google services are extremely slow on Firefox too.
