Awesome!

Can you now please make it so that of I have over 100 tabs open that Firefox makes my computer die, even if all those tabs are all pre-killed by a tab closer?

[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I'm saving all my tabs on a regular basis for 3 firefox pages. How does grouping tabs impact saving them? Does it create sub folders in the main saved tab folder?

Me using the Tiled Tab groups add-on for 2 years now... Good-morning

Ohhh that's what it is! I was did couple times since the last update; by mistake, didn't know what it was. Now I know.

Great. Now do Guest mode. It's a must-have for places like libraries and internet cafes - if Firefox equalled Chrome in this regard it'd easily gain a percent on the market share scale.

Is Guest mode different from Private Browsing?

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In fact - no, it's just a reskin of incognito to make it not feel like you're not watching porn.

Which might make it feel like a non-issue and a useless thing to add, but flip that around - it's a low-cost, potentially very high-reward improvement. It really should've been implemented ages ago.

The only things that need to be changed is the new tab page and the toolbar - both design "improvements".

Sorry, I'm not totally following here.

What is Guest mode, exactly? Esp if not just a containerized session that clears all cookies, history, and personal data when closed.

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

It literally is just Incognito (Private browsing), a little reskinned. Pretty much a temporary container living as long as the Ghest window - just like Incognito.

Why not just using fucking bookmarks? What's the point of all this "organization" when it's ephemeral anyway? I don't get it why most people are so allergic to bookmarks.
