• 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. An additional improvement for East Asian and South East Asian end users, Firefox now supports proper language-aware word selection when double-clicking on text for languages including Chinese, Japanese, Burmese, Lao, Khmer, and Thai.

• Firefox now ships with a new .deb package for Linux users on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint.

Firefox for Android

• Firefox for Android can now be set as the default PDF reader.

• Firefox for Android now supports enabling Global Privacy Control. With this feature, Firefox informs websites that the user doesn’t want their data to be shared or sold. This feature is enabled by default in private browsing mode and can be enabled in normal browsing in Settings → Enhanced Tracking Protection -> Tell websites not to share & sell data toggle.

• To reduce user fingerprinting information and the risk of some website compatibility issues, the OS version is now always reported as "Android 10" in Firefox for Android's User-Agent string.

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
