The 74 release says "New: Facebook container..." Do they mean the facebook container addon will come as standard, pre-installed with 74 or do they only mean they updated the addon? Little bit confused, feels a bit strange if they meant the later (under the new firefox release), but a at the same time when I updated 73 to 74 I could not see any traces of the "facebook container" in 74, no added addon. Is it meant fb container should should be like an pre-installed addon?

  Why is that being mentioned in the main application's release notes? Isn't it more appropriate on the addon's main page? This confused me too. I thought they were including Facebook Container by default like they did with Pocket, then could find no trace of it after updating.

    There is nothing else major in this release, so it probably made sense to Use this opportunity to mention it.

    I don't watch mozilla closely other than I run firefox in a couple of places [including typing this message], and it does seem to me that they often promo existing features as "new" assuming that people are unfamiliar with them, which in fairness, a lot of people are probably unfamiliar.. For example when they recently updated their android app, it was phrased as "our new android app" with the possible implication that it was written from scratch more recently [I was already using it]. And probably to a lot of potential users, it might as well be new, because most people are not on it. Seems a tad slimy/deceptive/over-hyping. But I understand that the public at large is unaware of the feature set and they wish to make a good impression.

Pretty sure the "new" part is the following: > But when we need an exception, you can now create one by adding custom sites to the Facebook Container.
