Question: Most of resources I've found online lead me to believe that all I need is to modify browser.low_commit_space_threshold_mb. But it's nowhere to be found. about:config on MacOS is just returning an empty value and offers me to set it. Dare I? Would it actually work?

You can always remove the edit if it breaks things catastrophically. Why not try it and see?

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/base/AvailableMemoryWatcherMac.cpp leads me to believe that this functionality should work if you can trigger it.

I currently have a puny 380 tabs open that consume 42GB RAM on my MBP '21 Max whatever (with 64GB total, shared with the GPU).

This seems like the bigger problem.

If Firefox is using an unexpected amount of RAM, report a bug by following the steps below:

  1. Open about:memory in a new tab.
  2. Click Measure and save...
  3. Attach the memory report to a new bug
  4. Paste your about:support info (Click Copy text to clipboard) to your bug.

If you are experiencing a bug, the best way to ensure that something can be done about your bug is to report it in Bugzilla. This might seem a little bit intimidating for somebody who is new to bug reporting, but Mozillians are really nice!

If you prefer not to open a bug, you can instead reduce the number of content processes used by Firefox to a lower amount by going to about:config and changing dom.ipc.processCount.webIsolated to a lower number.

@rantolo what news?

Is there a missing screenshot here?

That's an interesting interpretation! I definitely agree that that is the underlying bug, but it also seems to rob people -- Firefox users, developers, managers, contributors of agency - we are all in thrall to the almighty Google.

I think we can do more to even in the face of that stiff competition (and ignorance) - which is why I wrote.

You can watch https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/11969 for updates to this request.

Update to the bug I filed that was introduced in Firefox 116 - apparently, it isn't a bug:

I don't think this is a bug, its a side effect of the behavior for the ctrl|cmd + shift + T shortcut changing in 116 to reopen the last closed tab or window, in the order closed.

Technically, you closed a window when you dragged the tab out to a window, and then back to the original window. The exact same behavior happens if you use repeat those steps and use the ctrl|cmd + shift + N shortcut to reopen the last closed window.

There's an open needinfo for the author of the regressor, so I don't have much of a comment, but... it is very clearly a bug and very clearly a regression - Chrome doesn't do this (and actually has the newly claimed Firefox behavior) -- and neither did Firefox before it regressed.

Shocking that an interface explicitly not designed to be stable changes release to release. 🤔

No, I was responding to a comment about userChrome hacks, which are not supported.

You are trying to enable ClearType only on certain apps? Is ClearType a feature that Microsoft lets apps opt into even when it is disabled (as far as you know)?

changes the Ctrl+Shift+T keyboard shortcut to reopen the last closed tab or last closed window in the order they were closed or restore the previous session if there aren’t any tabs or windows to reopen.

Amusing that Firefox gets worse to match Chrome here. Oh well.

Well, there are bugs, for one.

Firefox crashed after long inactivity (fedia.io) Spanish

Hello, I have a new pc and installed w10 from 0 with all the programs that I have always used; the problem is that firefox has crashed after a long inactivity, the same thing happened on my previous pc i thought it was because i had mistakenly deleted the information from the roaming folder, but not because the event was...

Do you see any crash report ids in about:crashes?

Waterfox has historically tried to maintain functionality that Mozilla isn't interested in maintaining -- and coming out months or years later giving up on those efforts. The issue there seems to be that the company that they had sold to wasn't making enough money to justify increased investment (or they just didn't care). If maintenance is going to struggle by moving away from Mozilla, I don't get the point.

With LibreWolf, I just don't agree with their choices. My own take on web privacy is mostly aligned with Mozilla's -- you can read my tutorial if you like - better privacy by default, but without breaking pages. I'm generally not interested in breaking pages, and I don't think most other people are either.

You are asking how to prevent Google from asking you to sign in?

yoasif,
@yoasif@fedia.io avatar

You probably want to ask Google about that. You can modify the page using extensions like uBlock Origin as well.

While I am not entirely sure of what you are talking about, it sounds like you are trying to define shortcuts or overrides in X11/Xorg input settings for your input device. My guess is, based on the age of the Firefox port on *nix, and the fact that X is basically dead upstream - is that even if this is a valid bug, you probably won't get a fix very quickly.

Why? It isn't Wayland and I'm guessing the abstractions here are cleaner.

If you want to report the bug that you are experiencing, I would report into the Gtk component: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Core&component=Widget%3A%20Gtk

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1364261#c41 and let us know if it works for you.

Looking for a plugin/addon/theme/config recommendation for a friend who is migrating from Chrome and prefers the tab UI from there, specifically when there are way too many tabs open. (fedia.io)

Specifically, when you open a reasonable number of tabs in any browser, the tabs look like this. However, as my friend has just imported all of his tabs and bookmarks over from Chrome to Firefox, he has an immense number of tabs open right now; in Chrome, he can see all the tabs at once with its UI. On Firefox, however, it keeps...

yoasif,
@yoasif@fedia.io avatar

FWIW, it isn't even true that Chrome will show you all of the tabs - the browser continues to let you open tabs even after it stops updating the tab display to indicate that there are additional tabs - some tabs are just going to visually be out of reach, unless you close some tabs.
