Recently updated Firefox to version 149.0.2. Immediately after doing so, was looking at the info under "What's new in Firefox" (or something like that; don't know for sure what that preview page was called, because I can't find a way back to it) regarding Split View. That page provided instructions on how to use the Split View feature, which I tried out. Unfortunately, I accidentally closed the "What's new in Firefox" page while in Split View mode. Can't find a link to that page now.
Note that the Application Menu's
Help > About Firefox > What's new
is NOT the same thing. Selecting that brings up the Firefox Release Notes. Although the release notes mention Split View, they don't provide a link to the aforementioned "What's new in Firefox" page (and thus no instructions on how to use the feature).
So, three suggestions:
1. Provide a link (in an obvious location) to the "What's new in Firefox" (or whatever it's called) page, so that users can easily go back to it later.
2. Re-label "Help > About Firefox > What's new" as "Help > About Firefox > Release Notes". That's more accurate. Perhaps add the link mentioned in suggestion #1 as a separate item here, or implement the latter part of suggestion #3.
3. Add a link in the Release Notes for Split View to instructions on how to use that feature. Incidentally, this should be done for ALL new features mentioned in the Release Notes, either individually, or by providing a link at the top of the Release Notes to (you guessed it) the page mentioned in suggestion #1.

Thank-you Agentvirtuel for the links.
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/149.0/whatsnew is what I was referring to as the "What's new in Firefox" page. It would be nice if that link was easily accessible within the browser.

I really liked reading this update; it is always very interesting to learn about new improvements that make Firefox even better for users. I find performance optimizations and the privacy aspects of Firefox very appealing. In addition, I have a little blog dedicated to food-related topics on which Firefox proves itself a great browser because of its speed and safety.
