Firefox 89.0 released

[Stopspying]

Trying it now, so far so good. I'm finding it a quicker than Edge and Chrome. Took me awhile to find things, but so far I like it. Hopefully they took care of the resource issue, Firefox was a hog.

i updated via PatchMyPC. I really like the new design so much. the only problem for me with firefox is the ram usage. it consumes high amount of ram but i can`t stop using it. it is the best for me.

I hadn't found FF to be a resource hog recently.

I did not receive any update for Firefox 89, but now you can download version 89 by visiting the Mozilla site!
Why did I not receive the update?

It might depend on how you have your update settings -

With mine set like this FF didn't inform me about this update, instead I went to 'Help' > 'About Firefox' and it informed me that an update was available.

Got 89 this morning and I really like it. FF wasn’t slow for me before other than lunching, but now it’s indistinguishable from Chromium at least on my connection and beefy cpu.

I'm with you on not noticing it being slow.

I like new design but I miss menubar/titlebar color. I was used to have it the same as system's colour but it seems that they've removed this option?

I have FF the 'Dark' theme and am having trouble working out which is the active tab -


Oddly this screenshot has captured it so as it shows slightly better than the 'live' view is. This wasn't an issue prior to the update to 89.0, I'll have to go through various settings to try and improve the degree of greyness on the active tab.

Other than that I'm with the others here who feel that FF is now slicker overall.

Looks like all of those are Google safe browsing related. But don't worry, safe browsing in Firefox doesn't send any of your data back to google.
Here's an article that explains how safe browsing works in Firefox.

Thanks SeriousHoax. I just hadn't noticed all those google-related preferences before, and also this was the first time I saw Firefox attempting to connect to those IP's.

I had 'Recommended by Pocket' unchecked in the 'General' settings section, after the update it was checked, I thought I'd mention that in case anyone else doesn't want it checked.

Well I just configured FF look how I like it, created theme and uploaded it to Mozilla's addons page. After it was approved I disabled extension and installed a theme.

Hahaha, I hadn’t looked there yet. I am definitely liking it as my daily driver again. Now I’m curious. I’ve never been a browser tweaker, so 99.99% of Firefox enthusiast complaints have zero effect on me.

As a longtime Firefox user I'm considering a switch because of this UI lmao. Intersting that ya'll don't have a problem with it.

I'm happy that Firefox still allows users to use their own style sheets to modify the interface. black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix - this small mod returns the separators between tabs, as well as icons to the main menu.

Received the update and the new version is loading the pages much quickly and the new appearance is super cool. The most customizable browser gets better with every update.

O be Frank I consider the new UI a huge improvement. More consistent dark theme, cleaner and easier to read.
