The Power of Pinned Tabs

- Change Notifications: A blue highlight (glow) alerts you to updates on your pinned Google News tab.
- Safe Browsing: Links from Google News open in new tabs, ensuring your pinned tab remains unchanged.
- Automatic Loading: Pinned tabs, including Google News, load automatically when you start Firefox.
