This upgrade would correspond with the version where the addressbar moved from the top to the bottom and the opening page talks about "Collections". Different people got it at different times but it should have been Firefox 79-80 for most people. Could have been 81 for you if you don't update often. The old version has been on a branch with version numbers 68.x for the past year or so.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div></div>2) Is this any kind of temporary solution, in the journey towards having `unified data-stores` across all platforms?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">I don't understand the question.
