  • There is some good stuff in this release. Go to Preferences > GUI and check “Show sidebar collapse/expand button” + “Settings in non-modal window”. Now you can put the Preview and Print Settings windows side-by-side, and see the result of every change immediately. This also requires “Background processing”, but that’s been available for ages.



  • Beginning with Firefox 127, users will be prompted to grant MV3 host permissions as part of the install flow (similar to MV2 extensions).

    Hooray! Previously Firefox MV3 extensions had to include a custom button in the UI to prompt the user for host permissions at runtime. It generally made more sense to stay on MV2 than switch from a 2-click to a 6-click install procedure.

    I don’t think .co versus .com is the relevant factor. I can select xample.co by itself, but not as a substring of http://www.example.com. The rules seem so arbitrary and context-dependent that it behaves more like a dice roll than a usable feature.

    If a selection to URL feature cares about TLDs, IP addresses, or text beyond the selection range, then it’s operating at the wrong abstraction layer. (well, technically Goto foo has a couple lines of code to [bracket] bare IPv6 addresses, but that’s not core functionality.)
