Firefox 90 comes with minor changes
-
Facebook scripts are now blocked in Private mode to prevent tracking when you exit this mode. PDF printing has also been improved and new options have been added to the settings.

There will be minor changes for the average user, but there are very important changes inside. In the Linux version, they have finally gotten rid of GTK2. Now everything runs on GTK3, which will simplify packaging. It's a shame they still don't offer an option for QT, but that's another issue.
They have also removed support for FTP, which may sound silly and indeed it is. But it's still a milestone. One of the most used browsers not being compatible with the protocol has historical significance, even though it's hardly used anymore. FTP has been with us since 1985 and until about 10 years ago it was the most used protocol for sharing files on centralized servers. Let's keep a minute of silence in its honor!
Another important detail that I'm not sure if it's new in this version or not, but I think that from now on Mozilla's VPN works in Europe. I've been looking and it costs €60 a year, which isn't bad. If I have to choose a VPN from a company that I don't know if they collect data or what, or from Mozilla, my decision is more than clear.
