Heads up
- On bookmarking improvements. A new pref (browser.toolbars.bookmarks.2h2020) is created to enable the following changes:
- Changes the default location of bookmarks to the Bookmarks Toolbar (and make the default folder follow the last folder in which users bookmarked).
- “Other Bookmarks” folder will automatically appear at the Bookmark Toolbar if it is not empty. (Check the forum common response above to remove it)
- Replaces the Bookmarks Toolbar hide/show toggle with new options for showing the Bookmarks Toolbar either "Only on new tab", "Always", or "Never".
- Shows an “Import Bookmarks” button in the Bookmarks Toolbar for new users (if users have no bookmarks).
- Flash EOL. Here's a common response for that. And another one for users who worried about the end of Flash.
