will finally ship with a DEB package for Debian-based distributions
That’s good news for the more specifically Ubuntu-based distributions and their users. I trust that Debian will continue to build its own packages.
It may still be nice to have a reference implementation. For example maybe they can see if there are extra hardening options that they can enable or adopt the more seamless update flow.
Yeah, really happy about this. $WORKPLACE uses Ubuntu and the Snap is just mildly broken in multiple ways. The .tar.bz2 works, but we would have had to script the download + creation of the .desktop file. We successfully procrastinated doing the latter long enough, that Mozilla fixed it.
Interestingly, just today I switched Firefox from a snap to a deb due to the limitations of the former on Ubuntu.
I had some issues that happened on debian and not on firefox nix package, maybe debian packaging is not great and this can help improve it.
In addition, the “Search Bar” settings in Settings > Search, which let you choose between using the address bar for search and navigation or add the search bar in the toolbar, is also gone in Firefox 122.
This doesn’t affect me, but I’m sure there’s going to be a vocal tiny percent that absolutely hate this news.
A quick look at the documentation seems to indicate that they have not removed or officially deprecated the feature, only made it more complicated to configure it.

Motherfuckers!
Average Mozilla development
I wish they would finally add native vertical tabs. One of the few things I really appreciated about the latest Edge.

Apparently it’s comma splices.
