There’s three main things I’ve noticed. These things only started happening after Mozilla’s change in leadership. While they have announced more features since then, I feel like the quality control has gone down a bit.
- Even with the sidebar disabled, the sidebar will show on the side of the screen for half a second after launching Firefox
- Sometimes, the “x” buttons on tabs will stop working. I have to middle-click the window to close it or close that window and open a new one
- The AI popup often gets in the way when selecting text. I think it would be nicer to have it show up in the right click menu after selecting text. I disabled the AI so it won’t show up since I never really used it anyways.
I’ve had a regular issue on Linux for months where Firefox gets into a state where every open tab crashes when I interact with it (or the tab crashes immediately if I open a page in a new tab). Restart would fix it for a while, then the problem would come back. Started evaluating LibreFox last week and have been problem free so far. If it doesn’t do anything weird, I may make it my new daily driver.
I’ve unfortunately had the same happen on LibreWolf.
+1 on this. Been trying to search if anyone else runs into this, but you’re the first one who has had the same issue.
Can’t say it’s consistent, but happens maybe every week or two.
Could it be an extension causing a stability problem?
I only use Ublock origin and Bitwarden, so that narrows the list down if so. I’m also using Flatpak.
It might coincide with FF upgrades. Can’t pinpoint enough to even make a bug report.
