Re: Firefox Release 89.0
#372This version is painfully slow for me. Yet, starting with a clean profile seems to do the trick. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot it so I don't need to lose all my configuration. I have only 3 addons, but 5000 tabs/21 windows. Also a decade of random about:config tweaks which I suspect are the cause. Issues started with version 87 but got a lot worse today. (I'm on Ubuntu with mozilla.org binaries, Intel Haswell)
Thank you Mozilla!
edit: this is so bad I can't even scoll through about:config to take a look. Typing this text has a >1s delay. Looks like I'm going to need to bite the bullet.

#373I feel like the tabs are going to break if I click them too hard.

#374> The popular Total Cookie Protection moves from the optional strict setting to always-on in private browsing. This feature maintains a separate “cookie jar” for each website you visit while browsing privately. Any time a site deposits a cookie, Firefox locks it up in its own cookie jar so that it can’t be shared with any other website.
Why isn't that on all the time, even in normal browsing mode? Like, what breaks because of that? I thought cookies were locked per-domain since the invention of cookies.

#375I'm very excited to try this out on Android! Is there anybody else out there using Firefox Android for long-running web apps like Twitter? For me FF crashes a few times a day. Crashing so hard that my whole phone locks up for 10-30 seconds. Even the power button doesn't do anything.

#376So it's bright AND buoyant. This is clearly meant to appease the most technical of us all. :-)
I have yet to try it myself, but thanks for the additional design & privacy work, Firefox team!

#377I'll have to see if I can get used to this thing where tabs are now buttons.
Even the burger menu doesn't have the small arrow to show where it came from.
It feels like a continuation of the trend to remove hints UI about which things relate to each other.

#378> Based on our research, we found out that more than half of you have 4+ tabs open all the time, and some of you have more, a lot more.
This is surprising. I rarely have over three tabs ever, and i usually like to keep it at one. If i really need to multitask that many things I'd prefer to open another window and either splitscreen or move it to a different workspace.
I don't like the redesign. I think I'll be moving to brave or ungoogled-chromium despite my dislike for chromium dominance.

I use Android to check Twitter. Works fine for me, despite some annoyances, but no crashes like the one you described.

#380turn it off with browser.proton.enabled=false in about:config
