I've been using Firefox for a while now, and I heard there's a new update available. I'm curious about what new features or improvements have been added in this latest version. Is there a summary of the key changes? Also, are there any significant performance enhancements or security updates that I should be aware of? I want to make sure I'm taking full advantage of the latest capabilities. Any insights would be appreciated! Let's discuss more about this!

Ubuntu 24 LTS distro does not support the .deb package but has a SNAP for a ported version of Firefox. Instead, I installed direct Mozilla Firefox into /opt/firefox and run the Mozilla production release. Although as an ordinary user, Firefox will NOT let me use the internal update of Firefox under Help -> About Firefox, if I login as root and into a window environment such as Gnome, my /opt/firefox/firefox will do the About Firefox update internal to Firefox -- no apt involved. Mozilla has an apt repo and method to update Firefox, presumably via the Software Updater that can be run from a regular, not root, user window, perhaps asking for the sudo password. Which approach is better: internal Firefox "About Firefox" update in a root window, or using the .dep repo using non-root Software Updater?

Browser having trouble functioning

Hey guys,

I really enjoy using Zen, but whenever there's a new update, the browser seems to start up from the beginning, as in, my laptop has to confirm again if I want it to be my standard browser, the shortcuts that I'd made don't work anymore (cmd+T now pops up the search bar instead of opening a new tab, while my settings say that this shortcut is supposed to open a new tab). It has just happened often that whenever there's a new update the browser seems to be very confused, it doesn't seamlessly just blend the new updates into my already existing preferences. A while back (like 3 months ish?) you guys had a new update and I had to go through the whole thing of installation again of the browser, I had to choose if I wanted to import data from an old browser while I had already set Zen up way before, plus I had to choose the dark mode/colour preferences and all that stuff.

I really enjoy this browser when nothing is going wrong but there's so many stuff changing often and not blending seamlessly that it really messes with the user experience.

Hope this feedback is somewhat useful,

Best, Sophia

Cherry Picking Nightly Feature into Stable

Greetings

It has been 5 years since Chrome introduced tab grouping. Meanwhile, the devs decided to start working on AI instead of getting this done ASAP. My workflow is completely dependent on Firefox so I can't simply change to another browser, the extensions available are not useful for me and I really miss this feature. Since this feature appeared on Nightly I've installed it and my experience just got a lot better, however, Nightly is just too unstable for me. Therefore, is there any way that I can cherry pick from Nightly this one feature that's totally working to my stable Firefox build through the browser itself without having to go to git/source code?

I really wouldn't like to wait another don't know how many years so they can get this done. I guess that my question would also be useful for other features that people are interested, that were already developed and that haven't been released yet.

Dear, you must develop an update for the ones who have old computers. I've a good computer, enough, it does not break and woks perfect. It is an iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015), with MacOs El Capitan. I can not upgrade my ios too farther. And I would like to contionue using Firefox, as it is great. So please, Why don't you develop a generic basic Firefox update wich is valid and compatible with all webs and iOS. Thank you so much for your attention, and for being there. Peace and best regards.
