What? It is a stable release, the relnotes simply haven't been published for it yet. It's fine.

I meant to tell him to create task when it is released. It is in beta channel right now, isn't it?

Nope, it's a stable release. Firefox is always published the day before the official announcement. If the source should be updated in the meantime, we'd see it since we check the shasum.

Maybe let us tell him if it's an actual issue? We're the triage team. Thank you.

Sorry I meant no offence, if you felt that way.

is it possible that this update broke the "dont autoplay videos" ? whatever i do, i can no longer seem to require actively having to start a video

@thutex This was changed with Firefox 63 that websides run Autoplay. To change this change the value in about:config

media.autoplay.default

Value 1 = block all autoplays on all websides
Value 2 = Allows you decide it on domain basis

Value 1 = block all autoplays on all websides
Value 2 = Allows you decide it on domain basis

thanks! i was confused as to why firefox ignored the previously working autoplay.enabled boolean, but this explains it.
starting to get sick of mozilla changing stuff that breaks functionality without clearly stating it (they did it to some of my thunderbird settings as well).

anywho, thanks for the quick info and sorry for the tagging along on this task :)
