LOL. Because yeah, ppapi support gives you... Well, it gives you... Well, i guess Flash uses it.

FF20 also includes wmf codec support (for html5 mp3/h264 on windows). Although it's disabled behind a config for now, supposedly 21 will turn it on by default.

Firefox died for me with release 18. It's so buggy that's unacceptable. Of course I reported everything, but it needs ages to be fixed while new bugs are introduced. I switched to chrome in the meantime. Sorry mozilla devs, but the new release cycle doesn't do any good. Also to mention issues as fixed in the changelog although it isn't also won't make it better (better image scaling quality)
It's really all half-baked...

i do not experience any bugs - maybe it's your linux distribution which is broken?

- Support for starting private browsing in a new tab of an already existing web-browser session. Firefox for Android also now supports private browsing on a per-tab basis.

I would like to correct this sentence from "new tab" to a "new window", as in the firefox announcement page says:

Firefox includes a new enhancement to private browsing that allows you to open a new private browsing window without closing or changing your current browsing session.
