+# 6.0
+
+**target commit**:
+
+**base librewolf version**: 98.x
+
+**References**:
+- we are going to force history to custom mode and hide the UI for always on PB mode, a bunch of pointers are collected in [this MR](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/source/-/merge_requests/21).
+- [handlers prefs are deprecated](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1733497).
+- for OCSP see [this issue](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/150).
+
+#### Added preferences
+```

+pref("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", false);

+# 5.5
+
+**target commit**: 0fc1ff53c99379d9d4625de65ea51287d57a0a3a
+
+**base librewolf version**: 97.x
+
+**References**:
+- showing the insecure connection text is redundant as there's already the lock UI for http websites.
+- `browser.places.speculativeConnect.enabled` controls speculative connections for bookmarks and will be fully effective only once we hit v98.
+- we will no longer disable history but we'll clear it on close. [reasoning](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/135).
+- [download annoyances](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/144).
+
+**Notes**: the settings have been re-organized and they should also be documented a bit better now.
+
+#### Removed preferences
+```
+defaultPref("security.insecure_connection_text.enabled", true); // display http websites as insecure in the ui
+defaultPref("places.history.enabled", true);
+```
+
+#### Added preferences
+```
+defaultPref("browser.places.speculativeConnect.enabled", false);
+defaultPref("browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel", false); // do not expand toolbar menu for every download, we already have enough interaction
+```
+
+#### Changed preferences
+```
+pref("security.tls.version.enable-deprecated", false); // make TLS downgrades session only by enforcing it with pref()
+```
