Sidebar switcher allows users to access Bookmarks, History and Synced Tabs panels easily, quickly switch between them, move the sidebar to another side of the browser window, or close the sidebar.

It is now possible to copy any file from your operating system and paste it into Firefox.

You asked, and we listened! The volume slider is now available in Picture-in-Picture.

The keyboard shortcut to reopen closed tabs (command + shift + t) now reopens last closed tab or last closed window, in the order items were closed.

Copy pasting files directly seems to be a big improvement

What’s the use case for this? I’m drawing a blank

I think its for attachment in webmail, or when you need to upload a file to certain websites (One Drive / Google Drive, etc.)

Give me a well crafted sidebar UI like the one in Arc browser with Spaces for organizing and pinning and you’ll have me forever, Firefox.

The reopen tab/window fix will be a game changer for me. So many times this has caught me out because it didn’t do as expected.

I don’t get why containers are integrated into the browser yet. Brilliant add-in

Because Joe 6 pack is used to signing into a website once and having it populate the next time he opens the page. Setting the “always open in this container” setting correctly is already asking too much of the average user.

That’s part of it sure, but it also doesn’t really provide any benefit that makes the hassle of learning all that worthwhile to your average person. They get everything set up and learn how to fix things when they open in the wrong containers, but what does all that get them in the end? Tech companies wont have as clear a picture of what you do while using Firefox. They’ll still spy on you through your phone, and their apps, and their little home assistants, and your searches, and your purchases, and your posts… all you’ve done is made it slightly more difficult to correlate that data with your browser activity.

Do the tabs still look like buttons by default?

IDK, I use the dark theme and they look okay.

Probably? I use Firefox-UI-Fix, so I have normal looking tabs.

Ha, I use the same! I didn’t expect anyone else to be aware of the possibility, so I even had the link ready to share if anyone asked what I meant by “default”.
