What's new in v1.50.0​

• We're excited to introduce a new browsing feature — Fire Windows. These special windows work the same way as normal windows, except they isolate your activity from other browsing data and self-destruct when closed.

• You can now close a window with only pinned tabs by pressing Command+W.
• We fixed reordering favorites in the last row on the home screen.
• We've added a new appearance setting for the bookmarks bar, so you can use it just the way you like.
