Firefox 86 released

It was released yesterday and I have it running with Win10 but havent checked any of my Linux distros yet.

Look here, www.mozilla.org

Its interesting as Ive seen a lot more interest recently in Firefox, in the various tech forums I moderate or post in

There has been a lot of talk of Firefox recently. It is kind of the last really independent browser/rendering engine and it is loosing market share like crazy. I think the tech companies are concerned that soon everything will be Chrome based and Firefox is needed just to keep the giants honest. I use Firefox and have used it for years.

Many of the posts Ive seen have been people who are using Firefox or have switched from Chrome.

Firefox market share depending on your sources has come up a bit this month but with a lot of negative press towards Google recently we may see a change.

I continue to use FF ESR - finally had to give in and sign up for FF account as profile portability is now impossible.
Wife finds that many of her shopping sites are very bad in FF but OK in Chrome - especially clothes, wool and so on. I've had the same issues with some sites. Switching off adblockers doesn't make a difference - no big deal though. The eternal spinner of page loading reminds me of the old MAC beachball days...

Im not using ESR and so far 86 hasnt had any of those issues you mentioned. Ive got it running in FerenOS KDE and Win10.
