Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:144.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/144.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Verified that I am on Firefox 144.0 (64-bit).
  2. Restarted Firefox
  3. Opened about:preferences#experimental

Actual results:

I only saw the following two entries listed:

  • Address Bar: show results during IME composition
  • Picture-in-Picture: auto-open on tab switch

(I'm in the Netherlands.)

Expected results:

According to https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/feedback-welcome-for-new-tab-widgets-now-available-via-firefox/m-p/108430/emcs_t/S2h8ZW1haWx8dG9waWNfc3Vic2NyaXB0aW9ufE1IM0hMSTNSVDZPR0RBfDEwODQzMHxTVUJTQ1JJUFRJT05TfGhL#M41762, I should have seen an option to enable the new New Tab widgets.
