Comment (by ken@…):
From the Release Notes: (comments in parenthesis are min)
This is also the start of the next Extended Support Release (esr)
Dark mode in reader view expands so that windows are also dark on the
controls, sidebars and toolbars.
Improved extension security and discovery:
New reporting feature in about:addons allows you to report
security and performance issues with extensions and themes.
Redesigned extensions dashboard in about:addons provides easy
access to information about your extensions, including data and settings
access required by each extension.
Find high quality, secure extensions via the Recommended
Extensions program in about:addons, which now displays user count and
ratings for each extension. "Recommended” badges for these extensions also
appear on AMO. More extensions will be added over time.
Cryptomining and fingerprinting protections are added to strict
content blocking settings in Privacy & Security preferences.
WebRender will roll out to Windows 10 users with AMD graphics cards.
Windows Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) update download
support, which allows Firefox update downloads to continue when Firefox is
closed.
Fixed
Various security fixes (At the moment, the latest details there are
for 67.0.4, but that might get updated later)
Local files can no longer access other files in the same directory.
(There is a report today at The Register saying a poc worked on 67.0.4,
and that mozilla responded that a patch would be supplied in a few days.
This was not initially fixed because it *might* break local html
documentation.)
