  • Firefox supports a new “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” feature in the context menu.
  • Firefox now supports a setting (in Preferences → Privacy & Security) to enable Global Privacy Control.
  • Firefox’s private windows and ETP-Strict privacy configuration now enhance the Canvas APIs with Fingerprinting Protection.
  • Firefox now imports TLS trust anchors (e.g., certificates) from the operating system root store. This will be enabled by default on Windows, macOS, and Android, and if needed, can be turned off in settings (Preferences → Privacy & Security → Certificates).
  • Users on Ubuntu Linux now have the ability to import from Chromium when both are installed as Snap packages.
  • Picture-in-Picture now supports corner snapping on Windows and Linux - just hold Ctrl as you move the PiP window.
  • Keyboard shortcuts have now been added for editing and deleting a selected credential on about:logins. For editing - Alt + enter (Option + return on macOS) and for deleting - Alt + Backspace (Option + Delete on macOS).

Today is the day that 200+ extensions will be available on Firefox mobile.
 
Copy Link Without Site Tracking is nice. I use canonical link copy and not all sites have configured that right.
 
 

You can find instructions for importing the data from snap install into the deb one. You only need the profile directory. I was using the Nightly version so I didn't copy everything because that would have overwritten the profiles.ini file. So I manually edited the profiles.ini file to add the profile. Worked just fine.
 
Let's see. This time, I removed all the snaps and the snapd package itself and ensured it never gets installed again. I dare you, Canonical. And, I got the Firefox deb working. lol
