force-kills like sudo reboot will show UI on restart indicating it didn't shut down cleanly, but that isn't reported as a crash. You can see how often you actually crash via about:crashes (and also see what happened)

You should look at about:crashes and see if there's any commonality in the causes, or bugs associated with them (though often bugs won't be associated with the crash if it isn't filed from crash-stats or have the crash signat

Google is deciding who are the winners on the web that get better performance (and surprise, google is chief among them, such as the youtube player) - with a very weak justification about why this penalty for security/privacy is worth

I'm down to 7800 tabs (30 windows) on my main desktop. 4K on my other, 2K on my laptops. High was >11000 tabs. Firefox makes this easy; takes ~30 seconds to open all those windows and load a tab per window (plus ~8 pinned tabs) &q

What's the webapp? Can you file a bug in Bugzilla in Core::Performance with steps to reproduce? Can you take a profile? https://profiler.firefox.com You can attach it to the bug, or drop it in #perf on https:/&#x2F

Many Firefox devs are on Linux; however note that not many Firefox users are on Linux (mostly because desktop Linux has a much much smaller userbase than Windows or Mac). About 4% are Linux, looks like 8-10% Mac, the rest Windows: https:

Which are those sites? Did you report them? (Hamburger->Report Broken Site)

Respectfully, it's a reaction to real comments and opinions that all telemetry is bad, period, and to the continual vocal pushback to virtually any change. No, not everyone says those things, but people do say them. It's also p

Probably the dev needs to use a different method to save (effectively download), much as Adobe Photoshop does when it exports files on Firefox. Not hard to do at all. Likely the same for reading files, if this tool needs that. OPFS provi

In ~1997ish, the company I was soon to work for licensed Spyglass for use in our Internet-over-cable-TV startup, WorldGate. We ran the browsers in the headend, eventually on custom-designed laptop-chipset-based blades, 10 to a 2U chassis,

2K? Not bad. My main linux box is running around 7500 tabs in 34 windows right now. Takes about 30s to start, which is fine since that browser gets restarted only every few weeks. My secondary desktop (windows) only has 2750 tabs. And t

Did you report those sites to https://webcompat.com ? Also, did you try disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection for those sites? (Shield icon in URLBar) Try in a fresh profile (via about:profiles)? (Sometimes people tweak a lot

"Linux, for instance, does not support arbitrary call depth and barely uses recursion." Perhaps there's context missing from that statement? Linux certainly can have arbitrarily deep call depth, depending on the stack size.

Probably because you have to put a space after % (not sure why, but likely to disambiguate it from other sorts of typing). It rocks. And I have 1200 tabs open at the moment on Linux64 Nightly (~120 actually loaded). Yes, I'm a tab-ho

Try Help -> Troubleshooting -> Reset Profile (upper right). That fixes most problems of that sort with (often ancient, migrated since FF 2.0 or 3.0) profiles. Most things are retained, even cookies. It does remove some things (often

Anant Narayanan has been using a mechanism like this as an example in WebRTC spec discussions - basically a distributed-hash signaling layer (if you will, a self-healing incomplete mesh used to connect nodes for signaling a webrtc call) - a
