You think they will enable piplining, signed.applets.codebase_principal_support, and browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs by default in v1.0?

Heck no.

However, they probably will add UI's for these options sometime next year. Notice that the options menu has been cleaned up and has plenty of room for a "Tweaks" or "Enhancements" page since they FINALLY moved themes and extensions into their own windows. :)

The single window prefs will probably make it into 1.1, expected in March. They took it out because of some bugs dealing with scripting, and some crashes. Here's the bug, if ya wanna check it out.

Yeah I saw this too, and it sucks that this wasn't stablized for 1.0. You are correct in saying that 1.1 will be out for March. Also, expect a major bugfix release (1.01-02) to come out sometime in early January.

New features in 1.1 being planned according to chatter I read on Moz forums.

-MAJOR bugfixes not fixed in 1.01.

-Cross Session resume downloading. (YAY!)

-MAJOR redo on download manager code. (Pausing issues, etc)

-Use of Mozilla 1.8 code. (WOOHOO)

-New UI for a functionality as yet to be determined by mozilla team (security, plugins, helper AI, could be any of these)

Heck no.

    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
    • I have been using Firefox for years.
    • I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
