Regarding GPU drivers, to anyone that doesn't game and has NVIDIA graphics card, I'd recommend using Studio version of the drivers.

These are the most stable and thorougly tested ones and are released once they are proved to be reliable. I myself use them on my Lenovo Legion and never faced any problems.

Did you use Windows Update to install the correct driver, or did you install it from the Nvidia website?

Installed it from NVIDIA website. This is the safest method. I had a lot of problems with drivers obtained through Windows Update so I avoid them unless it's necessary.

Firefox 151.0 released:

Firefox

www.firefox.com

• Firefox Home (New Tab) has a fresh, new look and feel. The layout and design will enable upcoming features, from widgets to shortcuts improvements, launching between 151 and 152. Included are some new and exciting Wallpapers, such as the one below. Use the pencil icon in the lower right to check them out.
• Private Browsing Mode now allows you to instantly clear all data from your current session without closing the entire window. When you select the End Private Session button (the fire icon) to the right of the URL bar, Firefox will ask you to confirm to clear your session. Once confirmed, it will wipe all of your private browsing data and open a fresh new Private Browsing Mode session for you.
• Firefox now strengthens protection against fingerprinting in Standard Enhanced Tracking Protection, making it harder for websites to track you across sites by limiting the amount of information revealed about your device and browser. This reduces the number of users uniquely identifiable by common fingerprinting techniques by an average of ~14%, and by ~49% on macOS.

FF 151.0.4 ?

No, I don't have such new features there yet:

 

[lokamoka820]

I don't think it is available in all regions. I used to enable the weather feature via about:config since it was not enabled by default, but after Firefox 151 was released, I can no longer get it to work.
