> Keep an eye on data breaches with Monitor

This is fairly neat; For example, I browsed to the Datacamp website and was notified of a breach in 2017. But that must hurt for the company.

Still, it strongly incentivizes keeping high security standards, because now, customers will know. I like it.

This was fucking absurd update. My firefox profile was not compatible, and all my extensions were removed (And resynced). I was using Containers to manage all my work/personal/work2 sessions, and they are all gone (Again; first happened when firefox addon outage happened)

Pocket integration that nobody asked for, breaking extensions, removing useful features like RSS and bookmark descriptions... I've been a Firefox user for something like 15 years and I wish they could get back to focusing on making a good web browser, the direction they have taken lately has been incredibly disappointing. They do some cool projects, but I can't be happy for those when the core experience keeps getting worse and worse.

multi-account containers work fine for me after update, but also broke when the addon-apocalyse happened. I did have a fresh profile setup on 66 though for my new laptop.

Will there be an announcement when an update is released that doesn't delete all my tabs and unship all my extensions?

Or, did I misunderstand what 66->67 does?

I think I prefer the regular release notes (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/67.0/releasenotes/) instead of the marketing page - gives a much better overview of what's truly "new in 67"

What if I just want my browser to be a browser?

You right-click the Pocket icon, "Remove from Address Bar", and you unshackle your browser from the tyranny of this Mozilla-owned optional free bookmarking service.

Then I guess you just care about the headlining feature listed as the very first item in the list.

> Now you have the power to block video ads that autoplay when you open articles and links. Plus, Firefox has upped your protection against ad trackers.

What you are looking for is Pale Moon (https://www.palemoon.org/) - a browser being developed with a hard fork of Mozilla Gecko rendering engine without all the Firefox "shitty new, shiny things that everyone thinks is the latest fad that needs to be in the browser".

Metrics show very few users want a browser in their browser. HTML is old and dated.
