Special Thanks

The past month was quite a whirlwind for me. I've been juggling two jobs simultaneously: working at a university and a company. It was a challenging and time-consuming endeavor.

Yet, it was a fruitful period as we were blessed with a surge in new contributors. These contributors were diligent and consistently provided patches, allowing us to accumulate enough patches to create new releases. The collaboration between the teams @Floorp-Projects and @WaterfoxCo was a great experience for open source.
In that sense, I added hacktoberfest tag for some motivation.
(If you have any questions during the contribution, open discussion)

I would also like to express my gratitude to our sponsors. Although they may not have direct benefits in the open source world, donating to such projects is not an easy decision. Nevertheless, their support is invaluable.

• @Babbiorsetto (New sponsor) donated a considerable amount of money.
• @ojaha065 Thank you for believing in me and supporting me steadily.

v7.5.0

IMPORTANT

A major change is scheduled in Firefox v117 #744
As Mozilla's support for Windows 7 and 8 ends, it is a problem caused by the disappearance of media queries related to the distinction between the Windows version.
Therefore, a lot of code should be changed to only support Windows 10 and Windows 11, and it will be released as a major version because it has a great influence on compatibility.
Since the ESR version still requires existing code to be available, I'm looking for an appropriate ways to support both.

This version has icon related changes.
