  • Removed the “…” menu built into the address bar (Page Actions) through which you can add a bookmark, send a link to Pocket, consolidate the tab, work with the exchange buffer and initiate the sending of the material by email. Available through the menu “…” Options are transferred to other parts of the interface, remain available in the Panel Settings section and can be individually located on the panels in the form of buttons.
  • Interface Call Button To create screenshots moved to the context menu, displayed when you click editing button on the page. If you wish, you can also place a shortcut in the panel to quickly call the interface for screenshots.
  • redesamed pop-up sidebar to configure a page with an interface displayed when opening a new tab.
  • changed and unified with the rest of the dialogs, the design of information panels and modal dialogs with warnings, confirmation and requests. Dialogues are displayed with rounded corners and are centered vertically.
  • After the update is provided with a screensaver, offering Firefox as a default browser in the system and gives you the ability to choose a design topic. The following topics are offered topics: systemic (takes into account the system settings when designing windows, menus and buttons), light, dark and alpenglow.
