Sidebar switcher allows users to access Bookmarks, History and Synced Tabs panels easily, quickly switch between them, move the sidebar to another side of the browser window, or close the sidebar.

It is now possible to copy any file from your operating system and paste it into Firefox.

You asked, and we listened! The volume slider is now available in Picture-in-Picture.

The keyboard shortcut to reopen closed tabs (command + shift + t) now reopens last closed tab or last closed window, in the order items were closed.

This is very good!

Was this not standard? I've been doing it on FF for years

As far as I can tell it’s never re-opened windows for me, just tabs?

ctrl-shift-n does open last window

I like that I can now move my sidebar to the right, so much less sidebarception when working in sites that also have left sidebars.

That was already possible for some time, actually. Glad you like it.

The reopen tab/window fix will be a game changer for me. So many times this has caught me out because it didn't do as expected.

I don't get why containers are integrated into the browser yet. Brilliant add-in

Because Joe 6 pack is used to signing into a website once and having it populate the next time he opens the page. Setting the "always open in this container" setting correctly is already asking too much of the average user.

Give me a well crafted sidebar UI like the one in Arc browser with Spaces for organizing and pinning and you'll have me forever, Firefox.

I haven't used Arc but is Sideberry similar?

WOW! This actually looks SHOCKINGLY good and I didn't know I might need something like this.
Thank you for sharing. 👍

Do the tabs still look like buttons by default?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Probably? I use Firefox-UI-Fix, so I have normal looking tabs.

IDK, I use the dark theme and they look okay.
