They added features that benefit power users and developers? I'm sure someone at Mozilla will be fired for this soon enough

- That's likely a mistake that will be corrected before the stable release. /s

- Don't worry, they've added a setting in 115 that allows them to disable any addons they didn't vet from a list of websites they can configure, so the endless slide towards a shitter Firefox is still going strong.

  It's something you can disable, and work is already been done to allow the user to further customize it.

I wish they could just bring back PWA's. The PWA extension doesn't work with the dumb snap Firefox.

I've been wondering for quite a while what the "Actions" entry in the Search settings does. I suppose this feature has been planned for some time now, but they just never bothered to implement it. No idea why the had that shortcut present though.

Using Firefox to post on Lemmy - feels good man.

Having said that, Firefox would be much better if Mozilla would spend their resources on improving the browser instead of random shenanigans.
