    Visual search powered by Google Lens

    ✨ Find similar products, places, or objects
    ✨ Copy, translate, or search text from images
    ✨ Get inspiration for learning, travel, or shopping

    Look for the new “Search Image with Google Lens” option in your right-click menu (highlighted with a NEW badge at first). This is a desktop-only feature, available worldwide. Your default search engine must be set to Google in order to use it.

    Bravo to whoever's responsible for screenshots being added to the release notes. So much quicker to understand what the descriptions are referring to.

    Cool, that they're finally rolling out a UI for the profiles. That feature has been available since the earliest of days, but only power users knew about it, because it just wasn't accessible through the UI.

    The avatars aka "profile-specific badge" is an important new aspect because, at least in Windows, there was previously no way to tell which taskbar icon correlated to which profile. The only way to address that annoyance was via a somewhat obscure feature to change the Firefox program icon (changing the taskbar icon alone doesn't work as it doesn't persist on opening the program), and that only worked by having a separate Firefox install for each profile.

    Looks like the old Profile Manager might still be the go for advanced users (e.g. new UI appears to lack ability to set the folder).
