New Contributors

• @SASIKI-64892 made their first contribution in #232

✨ New

・ Newly added "Open new tab position" in the setting. You can choose from the following three.

1. Use default behavior (inherits the same behavior as Firefox)
2. Always open new tabs at the end of the tab bar
3. Always open a new tab to the right of the current tab

・Added several useful commands to "Floorp Actions".

You can call the browser manager sidebar for each panel. This will further improve operability.

❌Fixed

・Resolved an issue where Power of Magic would not load the image itself after an update when using an image from a folder as the background image in a new tab.

・Fixed the problem that the background image of the new tab was not displayed when opening a new tab while using container tabs.

・Fixed the problem that some theme extensions were not colored when using the "Remove borders and round Floorp itself" setting.

・Using the "Remove borders and round Floorp itself" setting and using "Show navigation bar at the bottom (experimental)" does not remove the top border of the navigation bar, resulting in poor design. Resolved an inconsistent issue.

・Fixed an issue where the background color of the tab bar was not properly applied when using the "Show tab bar at bottom of window" setting, causing incompatibility with some themes.

・Fixed an issue where the "Microsoft Edge" user agent was not applied correctly on the "Microsoft Bing" site.

・Fixed an issue where clicking a button in the "Browser Manager Sidebar" would perform the same action in multiple windows, significantly slowing usability. This also solves the problem of duplicated audio.

・Fixed an issue where the "Floorp Notes" string was not displayed in the "Browser Manager Sidebar" add panel prompt when "Floorp Notes" was enabled (floorp.browser.note.enabled is . true)

・Fixed an issue where all "Floorp Actions (Gesturefy)" that manipulate the browser manager were not working.

・Fixed the problem that special characters such as "&" could not be registered in the panel when adding a panel to "Browser Manager Sidebar". Also, I solved the problem that another panel opens even if I can register.

・Fixed an issue where the Flatpak version of Floorp available on Linux could not open URLs from external applications.
