- Notes: I will note the plugins, extensions, dictionaries, etc.. that I will be testing with. And perhaps I will link to those so other people can try them, too.
  - Form data, and search plugin saved searches don't seem to be preserved in my vm across sessions (browser restarts). So this data is not being preserved after the major upate is applied. Keep an eye out for this.
