** The Firefox address bar got a lot smarter. It now uses the Public Suffix List to show search results for lookups with a dot in them that are not actual domains. Putting something like foo.bar in the address bar will ow search for it rather than trying to load it as if it was a web address. This was fixed at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080682 bug 1080682.] Also, entering an email address into the address bar will now perform a search rather than trying to load it as if it was a web login attempt. This was [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1412985 bug 1412985.] Finally, entering a data:url with a space and a question mark now works as expected, loading it as a data:url rather than a search string. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1613276 bug 1613276 for details.] | |||
** We now have an enterprise policy for PDF handling that allows an enterprise manager to disable pdf.js in favor of a system PDF viewer. This was implemented at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792816 bug 792816.] | |||
** There is a new web-based Firefox Installer. All the details at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1596812 bug 1596812.] | |||
** Gecko now handles word boundaries properly on Southeast Asian languages without interword spaces. This makes selecting (and other text actions) easier for Thai, Khmer, Lao, and other languages. This was fixed at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425915 bug 425915.] | |||
** Gecko got support fro ARIA reflection at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1628418 bug 1628418.] This is part of the Accessibility Object Model and gives web authors tools to make custom elements accessible.] | |||
** Last but not least, XUL Grids were all replaced in Firefox and support was removed from Gecko. This was [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520625 bug 1520625.] | |||
