If you previously installed a customized version of Firefox with Yandex or Mail.ru, offered through partner distribution channels, this release removes those customizations, including add-ons and default bookmarks. Where applicable, your browser will revert back to default settings, as offered by Mozilla. All other releases of Firefox remain unaffected by the change.

    It’s a shame that Russia has to be Russia because Yandex has some good stuff. I like their maps and street view equivalent (it only works for places like Russia and Belarus but I’ve played around with it out of curiosity) - it’s less clunky than Google’s and it lets you change the year to view streets scenes from different years. If only that could have gone global.

      Google Street view lets you do this too, but only on the desktop site. It goes back to 2010 in some areas near me.

      Google Earth (the downloadable Windows app) lets you see historical satellite images, more than what’s available via Google Maps. There’s satellite images going back to the 1940s in some areas, in varying levels of quality.
