From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tree Style Tabs forever, baby! Simple vertical tab bars can't even hope to compete.
It should be built in at this point. It's annoying to apply userChrome.css tweaks to remove normal tabs and sidebar header.
The only thing I want is proper support for desktop addons on mobile.
I keep waiting for better profile management. Not saying it needs to mirror chrome exactly, but feature wise it falls short (at least how I would like to use it).
Please elaborate, I don't know what to use the profile features for
They are completely isolates browser settings. Account, session, settings, hardening, history, everything.
To a certain extent you can do that with multi-account containers.
For instance, I can have Amazon always open in my "Shopping" tab to keep it separate from my "Social Networks" tab.
Yes to some extent, but no addons, settings, user account, passwords, synchronized stuff etc.
Also afaik you can have profiles be encrypted with different master passwords
Yes please elaborate. Firefox Profiles are awesome!
my list of cool features:
Gradually rolling out in Fx119, Firefox now allows you to edit PDFs by adding images and alt text, in addition to text and drawings.
If you're migrating your data from Chrome, Firefox now offers the ability to import some of your extensions as well.
As part of Total Cookie Protection, Firefox now supports the partitioning of Blob URLs, this mitigates a potential tracking vector that third-party agents could use to track an individual.
The visibility of fonts to websites has been restricted to system fonts and language pack fonts in Enhanced Tracking Protection strict mode to mitigate font fingerprinting.
Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) is now available to Firefox users, delivering a more private browsing experience. ECH extends the encryption used in TLS connections to cover more of the handshake and better protect sensitive fields.
Firefox is now available in the Santali (sat) language.
Several enhancements have been made to the Inactive CSS styles feature. This feature assists in identifying CSS properties that have no effect on an element. Pseudo-elements such as ::first-letter, ::cue, and ::placeholder are now fully supported.
The JSON viewer is particularly useful for debugging REST APIs, as it displays formatted JSON responses. Now, if the JSON is invalid or broken, it automatically switches to a raw data view, improving the user experience.
Grouping of items in an array (and iterables) is now easier by using the methods Object.groupBy or Map.groupBy.
Hmm, only system fonts doesnt seem to help? Wouldnt that circumvent having the browser in a fake environment like Torbrowser does that, with the same fonts?
