on GitHub

The major focus of this release has been boring, under the hood changes - with the goal to clean up Phoenix and remove unnecessary preferences/files/etc.

• DESKTOP: Our configuration of uBlock Origin has been tweaked to significantly improve performance and efficiency. Specifically, we disabled HaGeZi's Threat Intelligence Feeds by default in favor of HaGeZi's Threat Intelligence Feeds - Mini, disabled HaGeZi - Multi PRO++ by default in favor of HaGeZi - Multi ULTIMATE - Mini, and disabled Dandelion Sprout's Annoyances List by default. Additionally, the HaGeZi - Fake, HaGeZi - Multi PRO mini, HaGeZi - Multi PRO++ mini, and HaGeZi - Pop-up Ads lists have been added to the built-in selection of filterlists, but are not enabled by default. Note that you may need to reset uBlock Origin by navigating to Settings -> Reset to default settings... to receive the updated configuration. You can back up your current settings using the Back up to file... option, and restore your settings after the reset is complete with the Restore from file... option

• Firefox Sync has been configured to not sync any items by default, meaning nothing is synced without explicit user consent (controlled via the checkboxes at about:preferences#sync) - services.sync.engine.addons, services.sync.engine.addresses, services.sync.engine.bookmarks, services.sync.engine.creditcards, services.sync.engine.history, services.sync.engine.passwords, services.sync.engine.prefs, & services.sync.engine.tabs -> false

• If Web Assembly (WASM) is disabled (javascript.options.wasm), WASM is now also disabled for extensions - javascript.options.wasm_trustedprincipals -> false

• Disabled adding downloads to recent documents by default - browser.download.manager.addToRecentDocs -> false

• DESKTOP: Disabled certain UI animations by default to improve Firefox's performance and responsiveness - ui.panelAnimations & ui.swipeAnimationEnabled -> 0, ui.prefersReducedMotion -> 1

• DESKTOP: Disabled Windows Media Foundation for protected content (DRM), but also enabled it for standard content - media.wmf.media-engine.enabled -> 3

• Set toolkit.telemetry.log.level, ui.hideCursorWhileTyping, ui.prefersReducedTransparency, ui.scrollToClick, & ui.useAccessibilityTheme to their default values, so that they can be easily set in the about:config... - toolkit.telemetry.loglevel -> Error, ui.prefersReducedTransparency & ui.useAccessibilityTheme -> 0, ui.scrollToClick -> 1

• YOUTUBE SPECIALIZED CONFIG: Disabled Trusted Types by default due to issues with Picture-in-Picture - dom.security.trusted_types.enabled -> false

• Various other tweaks, fixes, enhancements, and adjustments.
