Not sure if the tab search is entirely new or simply made more accessible in FF 66, but it certainly seems to make the All Tabs Helper add-on mostly obsolete for me now.

#54> Scroll anchoring keeps content from jumping as images and ads load at the top of the page That's a nice little quality-of-life improvement. It's a little annoyance that you don't really consciously notice because you're so used to it, but I recall reading about Chrome adding a similar feature and suddenly realising how annoying it is when you're reading something, and then suddenly it jumps out of your view due to…

Wouldn't it be nice if browsers or servers could reserve that space even if it's not loaded? Like "this is going to be a 500x200 image so let's load 500x200 pixels worth of empty space until it's fully loaded" and avoid jumping.
If the browser only knew...but in many cases it doesn't, especially for a fluid width, responsive website. An image may have a near infinite number of potential dimensions depending on the user's viewport.

1. Why update an app when you're in the middle of using the app? I dunno, I use Fedora, so I don't execute 'dnf update' until I'm ready to reboot the system, usually because I'm anticipating a kernel update. 2. Firefox has a pretty reliable "Restore Previous Session" feature that works well. I have also been known to throw a SIGTERM at Firefox and just let it prompt me when I start it again for the "Something went wrong, should we restore your session?". Seems to always work for me.

Silly question... what do you do with Firefox and the touch bar?
I use it to accidentally mute my computer and accidentally cancel loading web pages.

Quite inconvenient.

It's visible in the tab: https://i.imgur.com/UOvz505.png
That seems problematic; even in your screenshot with just one tab, the title gets cut off after just a couple words.
