Good point and sure, I don't expect them to read about it here. I have been reporting other things on Bugzilla, but maybe I never did it for this one...

If you don’t have evidence that Apple spies on you, then please keep this lunacy to yourself, mate.
A slight sidebar to this: is it my imagination, or have they further decreased the font size / icons in Bookmarks with this release?
I thought this was the case with last FF, but I swear it's worse now.
Is this a clever security deterrent to prevent users from visiting sites at all, because they are too small to be found in the user's Bookmarks?
I found a solution in about:config - while as for the rest of the above features, I pretty much had my FF locked down similar to all this prior.

There’s plenty of evidence out there, but you apparently didn’t read it because you don’t want to know the information. Regarding Safari, they are or at least were part of the NSA PRISM surveillance program. Or just read the privacy terms of the software you use. It’s all there.
I would love to know. Please enlighten me, a link to a source would be useful.
I have just done a quick search and read a little about the NSA PRISM surveillance program.
I'm not a terrorist, a paedophile, or any kind of criminal so I really have no problem with governments and law enforcement using surveillance of any kind to catch the bad guys and protect us. I have nothing to hide that could interest them.
I do care that the likes of Facebook, Google and their associates want to know more about me than I would willingly disclose to a stranger in a bar.
Anyhow, this post is about Firefox 91...
Thanks for sharing!These are the addons I have at the moment:
AdBlock
AdBlock is a user-supported browser extension that lets you surf the web ad-free.getadblock.com
Download DuckDuckGo for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android
Download the DuckDuckGo browser to search and browse more privately. Available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.duckduckgo.com
Privacy Badger

Apart from AdBlock, like I said referring to HTTPS Everywhere, I don't know if all of them are necessary now that Firefox seems to block cookies and trackers so well.
It's literally the first link on DuckDuckGo when you type "safari prism nsa". You can search more of course. So if you're okay with Apple and the government spying on you beacause you have nothing to hide, how about if I, a complete stranger, could read your e-mails because I'm so worried that you may have received some bad e-mail or if I could read your private messages with your wife, children or business partners? Can you even imagine how powerful and dangerous is that? What are these companies and their employees doing exactly with that data?
I've already answered that question;

That usually that blocks the cookies from being created at all. This system allows the cookie but they're not "cross-site".
The new firefox system is similar to Safari "Intelligent Tracking Protection" without the intelligence. Safari figures out which cookies to put in their own jar. Firefox just does all of them.

OK, that's from June 6, 2013 and everybody denied it.
Then there's this... a little further down those DuckDuckGo results:
Is Apple still in the NSA Prism surveillance program?
Answer (1 of 2): Q: Is Apple still in the NSA Prism surveillance program? A: Apple never was in the Prism program * The British newspaper that made that claim in 2013 never delivered proof * If been almost a decade now and there still is no actual evidence of that allegation so we can now cal...
It is, as you say, what it is. Not what you think it could be. 🤔
And you still haven't look at the search results that I told you to look at. But of course you don't even want to do some research about something that you know deep down it's true, but you love something so bad that you turn a blind eye to it, until it will affect you personally. And I can tell, just by looking at your profile picture who you are. As I said, keep living in dreamland.
Yes I did.
You're getting way too personal, and off-topic.
Goodbye 👋🏻

Shot in the dark here, but could it be related to privacy settings or extensions?
I checked, didn't seem to matter. When I click on the spam folder it takes at least a minute to open up, but the inbox is working again.
Today the inbox had issues again. Annoying

They are really just sequential release numbers. This is not like the old major.minor.patch version scheme. Nothing is broken here.
The idea is that both of these apps do frequent releases. sometimes what is in the release are minor changes, sometimes the changers are larger. They are not doing the old, shrink-wrap strategy of holding back features until you have a big bunch and releasing that as a new version.
Yea yeah,we know what a cookie is.. Their delicious ..😃
I often wonder if Firefox Focus is on Mac, or weather Moziaa is planning to do this in future.. It's my only browser now on iOS i use because there is "middle ground"
I know users like that 'middle ground'
