• Firefox now displays images and descriptions for search suggestions when provided by the search engine.

• The translations feature received an improvement in the quality of translated webpages. The results should be much more stable. This fixes issues where the content of a page could disappear when translated, or interactive widgets could break.

• Firefox now supports creating and using passkeys stored in the iCloud Keychain on macOS.

• MDN Web Docs article suggestions from Firefox Suggest will be available in the address bar for users searching for web development-related information.

• The line breaking rules of Web content now match the Unicode Standard. This improves Web Browser compatibility for line breaking.

Firefox on Android has supported the normal add-ons since December. The list is at 678 extensions as I'm typing this.

I feel like I'm going crazy. I checked when I wrote that message and could only see the basic ones that have existed for ages.

3 dots -> add-ons -> find more add-ons

Before it only showed the basic ones, now it shows yeah over 600. Not sure what happened here
