* [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/80.0.1/releasenotes/ Firefox 80.0.1] is our current stable release. The dot release shipped on September 1st and fixed a performance regression when encountering new intermediate CA certificates, a frequent crash possibly related to GPU resets, rendering on some sites using WebGL, the zoom-in keyboard shortcut on Japanese language builds, and download issues related to extensions and cookies. See the linked release notes for bug IDs for more information on each of those fixes.
* Firefox 81 is in the Beta channel and hits our stable release channel next Tuesday, September 22nd. Two features that were planned for 81, credit card auto-fill, and the new printing interface, have been pulled from this release and will now happen in 82 or later.
* Firefox 82 is in the Nightly channel and since we we didn't update last week, I'm sharing two weeks worth of noteworthy changes to Nightly.
