FF126 release notes
FF126 for developers
FF126 security advisories
NOTE
⭐ ⚠️ there is a migration of prefs coming in FF128 for sanitizing (on close and manually), including new ones,
so make sure to add any new corresponding sanitizing prefs to your overrides if required before 128
⭐ ⚠️ in FF128 I will also move arkenfox to using FPP not RFP see #1804
if you want to continue to use RFP (4501) and/or LB (4504) and/or disable webgl (4520) then you might as well add them to your overrides as well, so I don't change them on you without warning.
see this comment below for my overrides
