@Trex there is a PPA for FF stable IINM - at least that's what the KDE neon distro uses... search "PPA mozilla team" maybe?

 

[Trex]

Yes, that can do but currently don't want to add unofficial repo.

 

[vishalrao]

oh is it unofficial? i assumed it is official since kde neon distro is using it.

• 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.
