        Right ok. Must have got my wires crossed. I thought Mozilla stopped supporting anything but snaps on Ubuntu and hence dropped the debs.

        My bad 😔.

    One thing they did not mention in the Firefox Android change log is that you can now enter IPv6 addresses directly into the address bar whereas before it would do a search.

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

    Hopefully next it will get the ability to send push notifications to use passkeys on other devices like in chromium browsers

      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

    All these new features, I’m sure are great.

    But when, oh when, will Mozilla start supporting tabbed browsing for tables and foldable devices.

    It’s the one thing stopping me from swtitching.

      Assuming you’re talking about Android, there’s been some early work done on this recently, I’ve noticed.

      Do you mean a dedicated tab bar? If not, I’m using it on my Android tablet and foldable with no issues whatsoever.

        Yes , the same way almost every other browser does. My tablet is my desktop replacement I don’t want a bloated phone browser I would like a desktop experience.

          Same. On my tablet I use Brave because it has a tab bar, but I’d rather use FF.

    ctrl-h still opens a useless sidebar, and ctrl-shift-h still opens a window like it’s 2006.

    Boo! Stop giving me new “fresh” UIs and fix actual out-of-date shit!
