    I like this new post format, thank you!

    You used to do a post on the key bug-fixes and features added to every Firefox release before the new release schedule was implemented. I look forward to the time when you can resume that activity given the new world order. Having a post that summarizes all that is new in a Firefox release makes it easier to convince folks to switch back to FF.

    Yes, thanks also for the post!
    Awesome that the incremental GC is back on; really needed for browser-rendered animation & audio!
    Nice to see word-break & rest parameters added.
