Just got the 66.0 release installed when I restarted Firefox.
I didn't get a link to Release Notes.

Re: Firefox 66.0
There are not many comments about changes in new releases nowadays. (I guess some would say that there are no major changes.)
Yes, release notes, I don't think you get a link per se, Bob, it's there at the download page, or in the About dialogue (Help).
mode.
It seems a lot is going in a not preferred direction.* What is the point of adding a search box (whatever is the default) to the otherwise rather empty private browsing page?
Maybe I have a very odd modus operandi, but I prefer to use the address bar as that; if I type anything there, it is to direct the browser to a certain page (if needed searching bookmarks, history, whatever, or already open tabs). I don't want a typo to end up in a search engine. And if I want to search for something, I go to a search page via bookmarks or address bar. Simple.
It's possible that not many use private browsing "mode"; I use it at times to avoid clutter in History. Now there is a search box on the private browsing page; typing anything there and it will be moved to the address bar and off to a search page (as the search box disappears on the private browsing page) ...
Well, the address bar still works as it used to do. And I understand that many don't use bookmarks, they "Goggle" everything. An empty page is still an alternative in normal mode.

* (And moving cookie settings, together with tracking settings, to Content blocking in Fx 63 made settings more complex, or spread out between Content blocking and Cookies and Site Data sections.)

Find a specific webpage faster when you have a lot of tabs open: You can now search within all of your open tabs from the tab overflow menu
Easier search via a redesigned new tab in Private Windows
