 * Firefox 76 is in the Beta channel and makes it out to our stable release audience next week on May 5th. We're in RC week now.
 * Firefox 77 is in the Nightly channel and it will arrive for our stable release users on June 2nd. The soft code freeze is this Thursday. If you've got risky changes or want to pref on a new feature, please do so before Thursday. Over the last week there have been about 440 bugs resoved as Fixed including these notable ones:

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.
