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:…

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 fi…

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 justificatio…

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 …

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. …

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 …

"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 de…
