It bumped up from 69 to 70 this morning, a "major" update so much as browsers have those anymore. But it's not clear what's actually new in this.

Here's what they listed for 70.0a1 back in July, but the release notes link for today's update is a dead end.

Dev edtition gets the last nightly build two weeks before the same release hits Beta channel.

One of the main changes for me as a Mac user is this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522#c32

Ooh, that's a very nice change. I've stubbornly stuck to Safari on my laptop because of its low power usage.

Now I'd be losing the tabs/bookmarks integration with iOS's unchangeable default browser, but that's not as big a deal to me.

Does this mean Firefox won't always be the "apps using significant energy" list?

[ziegeer]

Web browsers are basically the new higher-level operating system. They likely should be using more energy than anything else considering how much we run in them.

Maybe. This was but one improvement in a backlog.
