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.

      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.

        That’s part of it sure, but it also doesn’t really provide any benefit that makes the hassle of learning all that worthwhile to your average person. They get everything set up and learn how to fix things when they open in the wrong containers, but what does all that get them in the end? Tech companies wont have as clear a picture of what you do while using Firefox. They’ll still spy on you through your phone, and their apps, and their little home assistants, and your searches, and your purchases, and your posts… all you’ve done is made it slightly more difficult to correlate that data with your browser activity.
