Changed behavior: 

  • Fixed an issue where the flag that controlled the ability to use the Block option in website Autoplay settings disappeared.
  • Fixed an issue where Edge users who are signed into Windows with a work or school account sometimes don’t get automatically signed into the browser with that account, which can lead to sync errors.

  • Fixed an issue where the Collections pane sometimes stays open when opening an IE mode tab.
  • Fixed an issue where attempting to use the Audit tool in the F12 Dev Tools sometimes fails by hanging on start.
