There are such things as dynamically sourced, or generated, images. On-the-fly-computed SVG data visualisations might be such a case. Generally, I'd agree that authoring time is some 9X% solution, though there remain edge cases.
You'd still want those at a fixed size though? I can't think of a good use case for auto generating arbitrarily large images, and as a user I wouldn't want to visit websites where the web designer thinks that's a good idea either.
What thos cases are is ... a good question, and my point is more thaat this can be done than to say why or that it's a good idea.
Upshot again is that image size need not be deterministic at authoring time.

By far the biggest annoyance with firefox on mobile is that when you open the browser, are presented with all your tabs, and a toolbar which only searches your open tabs rather than just being a toolbar that you can type in a website, or a search term, or also search amongst your open tabs.
that's not how my firefox on android behaves, I can search just fine from the new tab page

It used to crash under Linux, when you updated it while it was running, and then opened new window or a tab. Now it shows a message that you need to restart.
It was sometimes worse than crashing, and silently going unresponsive after an update. Only a SIGKILL would close that instance.

Same here. Sometimes I’ll click on it a good five or eight times before it comes up. When people say Windows 10 is good, I feel like they’re living in an alternate dimension.
I think you guys are the exceptions to the norm here, and not the norm. I have too many computers at home, some verrry slow ones, and they all pop up the start menu within a second or two unless I've just booted the PC. I work with a lot of people who use Windows 10 all day long, and I've never heard one of them ever complain about a slow start menu. Complaints about search results? Absolutely. I suspect it's somethi…

Maybe not the norm, but we're not the only ones. It's obviously an issue that exists.

Better yet is when you type "Ar" looking for "Arrow" and get 1) Arrow 2) Arboles 3) Area And then type another 'r' before you realize your result is there ("Arr") and as you go to select "Arrow" the auto-suggest results turn into 1) Array 2) Arrogant 3) Arrow Like, how does adding the second 'r' make "Array" higher probability than "Arrow"?!
Your not accepting the 1st suggestion (Arrow) when you typed "Ar" decreased the probability that that was the term you intended. The next suggestion factored in that you were probably looking for something else and bumped up other suggestions.
When you search you don't type letter by letter and inspect the suggestions after each keystroke. You type many letters and only then you inspect the suggestions/results.
Does this include Netflix? It's been getting really annoying to have random videos your mouse is on, as you scroll, start playing automatically.
I remember how much excitement Netflix created in the data science community when they used to run their recommendation competition. There was so much optimism that big data would bring big benefits for consumers. How naive we were. Of course the data is used to extract maximum value for the data owner, not consumers. I guess we used to think their interests were aligned; the dream of the free market: that companies…

Every time I click the share button in Android, the icons are in completely different order. Not last recently used, not alphabetically. Completely random.
Also it seems to use a very slow random number generator because it always takes a long time to populate the random list.
So stupid.
