<br>
This is about the new bookmarking frame of Firefox 62: I was wondering<br>
what the advantage of showing a small screenshot of the current webpage<br>
is? Isn't that screenshot just a thumbnail of the page the user is<br>
already looking at anyway?<br>
<br>
I'm referring to <<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1460248" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/<wbr>show_bug.cgi?id=1460248</a>>.<br>
<br>
Off-topic: I asked this question in #ux first, but was told that IRC<br>
channel is mostly dead as the UX team moved to a non-public channel on<br>
Slack. I also failed to find a more specialized mailing list to send<br>
this message to.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
