Firefox focus of privacy lately has been phenomenal. I just hope it starts clawing back users

This version feels a bit faster too.

I agree, but Windows "S Mode" on lower-end laptops / cloudbooks blocks installation of Firefox. Surely, that's cutting into their marketshare.

I finally upgraded from 88 or 89 to this 93 version last night. Who thought having no distinction between tabs was a good idea? Bookmarks have a ton of space between them that could have been used to increase font size. The font looks smaller when clicking the lock icon and looking at the site info. Lots of wasted space between back, forward, home, etc. icons.

It does feel a bit faster and this must be a fairly stable bug free build since they haven't had and update in almost a month.

I completely agree with you about the new tab design/layout. I don't see how it is better? Perhaps on certain themes it looks a bit better, not sure?!
I hope that changes back at some point.

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like the "tabs". At least they moved "Restore previous session" back under History where it belongs. 🙂

I suppose I have gotten a bit more used to it but it still annoys me from time to time!
