(Really tempting feature, but personally I would advise against storing every piece of sensitive data in one central database in the cloud. Proton can get hacked any time, like any other company, and also the new Swiss law can force them to hand over all that personal data in plain text, so you can mess up your privacy really badly. I'm not pointing fingers at Proton, but I think this update wasn't quite a good idea, it puts too much responsibility on them.)
Firefox 140 ESR released with unload tab feature, support for adding custom search engines in Search settings, support for keeping more or fewer pinned vertical tabs in view, "Select All" option for bookmarks on Android:
