The browser is unusable on Twitch or YouTube. It is so slow. It also starts lagging my 2700x CPU, which is insane. As always performance is an issue with Firefox and always will be

#162I don't know what is up with mozilla/firefox. I'm still using firefox but not because I like it, only because the alternatives are worse. I signed up for a firefox account almost right after they were announced. At the time and multiple times since I've unsubscribed from "all" their emails because I'm not interested in them. They just either invent a new list and auto-subscribe me to it or they just ignore my prefere…
I used to be a fan of FF until chrome. I understand it's bad - but how about chromium?
Btw, I'm not against looking at FF again, but looking at this changelog and recent product direction, they honestly feel lost.

#163> When a video is uploaded with a batch of photos on Instagram ... Features just for insta? I thought this was a web browser not an instagram browser. I guess same goes for the facebook container... what's up with building browser features for facebook? Why no reddit container, or google container, or amazon container?
It's possible this was a layout bug whose most common and visible consequence was on instagram?
Or does FireFox's picture in picture code have special casing for some sites?

I use FF, I don't use FB, but I still think this is wrong. Browser is not a place to decide which companies are good and which are bad. As much as I despise Facebook I still don't think it's fair. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". All companies should have the same access to the technology in user's browser. Favoring Google by Chrome seems no different than blocking…
It's wrong for the browser to give me a way to containerize whatever domain I want?
At first glance, this seems to be pretty opinionated, with a hip 30 second commercial

Good question
Re: Firefox 74
#166The Facebook container is great, but I wish there was an option for the built-in Multi-Account containers to work this way. I've been doing what the Facebook Container extension does, but with built-in containers, and the experience is very clunky. The two biggest issues are that I can't give the container a list of domains beforehand and say "everything under google.com should open here". I have to go to each Google…
Why you keep saying "built-in containers", it's not built-in, it's an add-on.

The Instagram thing is because a feature in Firefox broke a website

I have used fastmail for ~10 years. However google still has far too many ways to track me.
Why are you worried about GMail's outgoing links if you're using Fastmail?
Gmail is not the only place where outgoing links get this treatment. Random websites do it too once in a while.

Do containers sync across devices yet? Having to re-establish all of my container rules on my work and personal computers is tedious
Yes — We added it last month! (Mozilla Containers dev here.) See this blog post for more info: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/02/06/multi-account-c...
Sorry to bomb you like this, but I don't have the time/energy to find where to file a ff container bug: twitter.com never opens in it's designated container for me. That is the only site I always have to "Reopen in container".
Re: Firefox 74
#170I wish they’d fix Lockwise on iOS. Not really working. In my case takes ages to open when set as default, and never auto suggests login for the active site, either from Firefox or any other app.
Lockwise takes ages to open on desktop Firefox.
