*The [[How to enable Windows SSO login in Firefox|Windows SSO]] option in settings is no longer displayed on versions of Windows where it isn't supported.

=Policies=
*When using the [https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#autolaunchprotocolsfromorigins AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins] policy, errors were not properly displayed. This was fixed in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1737605 bug 1737605].

*The [https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#searchengines--add SearchEngines | Add] policy now properly updates engines when any attribute is changed. This was fixed in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1481946 bug 1481946].

*SuggestURLTemplate in the [https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#searchengines--add SearchEngines | Add] policy didn't work correctly. This was fixed in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1730218 bug 1730218].

*Firefox will now enforce the <code>Cookie Policy: Same-Site=lax</code> by default. There are two new policies that modify this behavior: [https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#legacysamesitecookiebehaviorenabled LegacySameSiteCookieBehaviorEnabled] and [https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#legacysamesitecookiebehaviorenabledfordomainlist LegacySameSiteCookieBehaviorEnabledForDomainList].
