The Dark mode in reader view now expands. Browser windows are now also dark on the controls, sidebars and toolbars for a more eye-friendly reading experience.
The installed extensions overview page in about:addons has been redesigned by Mozilla. Add-ons are now presented more clearly and users can see immediately which extensions are activated and which are deactivated, including data and settings access required by each extension.
A new reporting feature in about:addons allows users to report security and performance issues with extensions and themes.
Crypto mining and finger printing protections have been added to strict content blocking settings in Privacy & Security preferences.
WebRender will roll out to Windows 10 users with AMD graphics cards from now on. This should lead to faster display of web pages.
