Whether you just downloaded Firefox, or you’ve been with us since the beginning, you are a vital part of helping us make the internet a better place. Here’s a sneak peak at what’s coming next!

    It’s funny how, somehow, somewhere along the way displaying PDFs became the web browser’s job

      This is somewhat defensible. PDF is the de-facto alternative to HTML for documents. The web is also full of JPGs and nobody claims that the browser should not render them.

    I’ve been using Firefox since it was called Netscape, and before that I was using Mosaic. Nowadays, I’m also using Safari (and Vivaldi) but I still can’t imagine not using FF as my default browser. More exactly, FF with the uBO extension, which is another nice gift to all of us — a bit like FF pop-up blocker was back then.

    I would have loved if they had released an anniversary icon for FF. Too bad they did not, but that’s probably just me getting old, all nostalgic and sentimental :p

      I’ve been using FF since Opera went to shit, I can absolutely imagine not using FF, what I can’t imagine is using a WebKit bloatfest

      You might have seen it already, but is this close enough?

        No, I did not see that. Thx! That’s clever.

        BTW, I loved this old t-rex logo and felt, well, if not betrayed quite disgruntled the day they replaced it. Loved it so much that occasionally I still wear my old Mozilla ‘Take back the web’ t-shirts, the ones with the t-rex printed on a red star. It’s as cool today as it ever was, if you were to ask me :p

    The tab groups are exactly how i wanted them, that’s awesome to see.

    The profiles are a very nice addition too.

    Seems like apart from the new features the UI gets a fresh design as well. That’s all personal taste however, I’m just glad they finally implement native tab groups 🤩

    Also, just remove all the featured articles bs, nobody cares about the articles (I know that’s not gonna happen, but I had to vent for a second)

        Not OP but for me just having it support macOS autocorrect in the browser would be great… I can literally load any other browser and my typed shortcuts (eg if it type @ @ (without the space in between) it gets auto replaced with my email address) just work… not Firefox though 🤷🏻‍♂️
