My mobile updated to Daylight? What happened to my tabs. I liked having them as thumbnail, not a list.

You just updated to the browser rebuild, there's no grid/thumbnail view for tabs at the moment but I believe they have an open github issue to look into adding a grid view in the future.
Holding back doesn't show history?
I believe I saw that in coming soon. What kind of bone head release is this..

Not sure about beta, but Nightly already has that, so it should be coming fairly soon.
As for why this release happened now, the 68 branch had its final release this week, so they realistically only could have put this off for another few weeks or so without having to put a bunch of extra effort into providing security updates for the old version. I do agree that this release was pretty poorly handled, though. There isn't much of a real roadmap, and they are frustratingly unwilling to confirm that they'll be bringing back about:config and installing arbitrary add-ons to the stable branch.
Firefox 80.0.1 is now out.

After updating my fonts look crap. I usually block the google font api in Privacy Badger but it's not showing now. Edit: And it's suddenly back to normal...

Is there any way to improve how Firefox handles pdfs? It doesn't seem to support certain features and it takes a while for it to print to pdf anything longer than a few pages.
You can set Firefox to open PDFs in a different application if that's what you're looking for.
I guess I could just reroute them to Chrome, but ideally I'd like the built-in functionality to have everything I need. Otherwise I might as well just stick with Chrome.
Part of why I'd like Firefox to be able to handle things properly is because for whatever reason, it won't let me automatically open downloaded images within the browser - it gives me the prompt for what I want to do with the image each time, despite having "save my preferences" checked. It's another irksome thing about using it where I can't tell if it's intended but bad or just broken.
Definitely not intended. There's something wrong in your settings or something.
Crazy that we are already at version 81. I remember when 4.0 came out lol
Question: how do you remove the "pinned" websites that appear in the URL drop down bar? They are all old websites I haven't visited in years, like the old forum. They appeared after one of the recent updates

From the menu, "History" → "Show All History" which should bring up a window of your sites - or bring up the history sidebar via the "View" menu. Search for the site you want to get rid of and right-click on it. Then click "Forget About This Site" to clean it and all of its pages from your history. That should get rid of it from the URL bar once and for all. Though if it's in your history a lot, it may take awhile.
Thanks, I've done that, but they still appear. I'm talking specifically about these ones that appear as "pinned" for whatever reason.
I do have them in my Bookmarks though, but I don't wanna get rid of them yet. Some links still come in handy.
The weird thing is that they appear without typing anything. It would be okay if they'd pop up while I type, like it used to be.

Those are the pinned sites from the new tab page. If you set your new tab page to something else, you can edit them by going to about:home. You can also disable them by unchecking "Top sites" at about:preferences#privacy > Address Bar.
That worked. I always had a blank page when opening a new tab, that's why I couldn't figure out where they came from. Thanks!
Anyone know how to get twitter to show images in messages? They are blank and when I click on them I get "an error has occurred loading this image." I tried disabling enhanced tracking protection, privacy badger and ublock but no luck. I don't any issues with Chrome but prefer to use FF for twitter.
If you have the DuckDuckGo extension installed, check its settings to see if it allows embedded tweets.
Example tweet? Don't have issues with Twitter on my end.
Tweet images and videos load fine. Only images in messages are blank.

Firefox 81.0.2 fixes some issues with Twitter. Try updating and see if that solves the problem.

Didn't help. Either one of the add-ons I'm running is interfering or in DMs the image format is different and FF doesn't like it. Still no problems in Chrome but I prefer to use FF most of the time.
I've had no issues with Twitter on my end, I think it's one of your addons. Might have to go through them all and figure out which one is the culprit, unfortunately.
Since the latest FF update fonts are different on many websites. Google's Roboto font in particular looks awful.
Edit: did some research and found "layout.css.font-variations.enabled" was set to true. Set it to false and the fonts are back to normal.
I tried disabling ones like Stylish, Privacy Badger etc. but still the same.

Have you tried safe mode? Close Firefox and hold the shift key when reopening it
Also can you post an example tweet?
And today the google font is back to Roboto but I've changed nothing in the browser settings... safe mode didn't help either.
The tweets with the image erorrs are private messages so unfortunately I can't share them. It's just brown and blank where the image should be.

This is a nice update. Noticeably faster and finally pinch to zoom!!
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste update2 and pause while the list is filtered
Firefox should show the core preferences related to the current wave of changes
(3) Double-click the browser.urlbar.update2.tabToComplete preference to switch the value from true to false
Firefox is up-to-date. I tried disabling enhanced protection and all addons but still the same. Images show perfectly everywhere but in messages where it's a brown box the same size as the image. Chrome and the ios app don't have this problem.
oh the mobile app. I don't have much experience with the app, let alone on iOS, sorry.Firefox is up-to-date. I tried disabling enhanced protection and all addons but still the same.

On Android, Firefox Beta, twitter images do seem to work for me.
Hey, do you know if there's an about:config setting to disable whatever the hell they did to CTRL+TAB? It now does a weird MRU tab transition instead of the old "navigate to the next tab" and CTRL+Shift+TAB which did the opposite is now removed? It's a change they apparently did in v83 only because I don't remember v82 doing this. It makes it a huge pain to navigate between tabs with my left hand. Now I have to use CTRL+PageUp and CTRL+PageDown with my right hand, which would be better used holding the mouse.
Ctrl+Tab still navigates tabs for me (and I actually didn't know about that before ty, only knew about ctrl+pgup/pgdn). Firefox 83 on Windows 10.
Just uncheck "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" in the Options screen.
Oh, thanks the gods. And you. I can finally go back to previous tabs with just my left hand.
Still getting used to this new design.
But I can play music on YouTube in a different tab now. The last version would always stop.

I've noticed it most when browsing twitter and switching tabs.
