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?
