    Firefox now includes safeguards to prevent sites from abusing the history API by generating excessive history entries, which can make navigating with the back and forward buttons difficult by cluttering the history. This intervention ensures that such entries, unless interacted with by the user, are skipped when using the back and forward buttons.

    Nice

      This is such a small thing but it infuriates me every time I have to use Microsoft’s stupid “docs” site. Great QoL feature if it works!

      I wonder what exactly the safeguards are, since I’m developing something that should manipulate the history state for quality of life.

        From the text it seems like a site only gets added to the navigation history if the user interacts with it.

          Which stops malicious usage, but doesn’t stop cases where web pages over use pushState as users move around instead of replaceState. I’ve seen maps that would add to the history every time a user moves around the map.

            It would be nice if there was a shortcut to go “back to previous site”. Because on one hand using back to navigate around map moves is often very convenient, but sometimes I want to go to the site before the map. Having a two-level history with page and site would be super useful.

    Firefox Translations now supports more languages than ever! Pages in Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean can now be translated and Russian is now available as a target language for translating into.

    Oh finally support for these Chinese, Japanese and Korean! Less reason to use Google translate. Edit: Just tested it on two websites, oh my goodness, it works well!

      Yeah, when the popup came up offering to do the translation on a Japanese website I was on, I was pretty stoked! I was using the Developer Edition then, so it was still in beta and there weren’t any official announcements then. Glad it’s out officially now!

      Actually great news! Really like the feature and was consistently annoyed when you had to fall back to Google for those languages.

    Borked my search providers on Windows 10. None are listed in settings and address bar won’t search. Luckily duckduckgo icon to the right of address bars provides search input field. A little annoying.
