Another thing!
I'm very frustrated how Firefox is SO INCREDIBLY INCONSISTENT about, when I recover from a crash
1. It reopens all my windows, even if there are 1,000 of them and this will create a problem
2. It reopens no windows, but I can go into "History" and recover them from "restore previous session" or "recently closed tabs"
3. It's gone! There's fucking nothing you can do!
I had a group of tabs with links I was meaning to copy into a file to save for later yesterday. Didn't hurry :(
Didn't occur to me "oh, you can't just leave a Firefox window open and assume it will still be open tomorrow. you are in the 1990s again".
OK this appears to be the page that explains how to restore a lost session even when Mozilla cannot restore a lost session. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup
The thing about. Firefox, or Linux. Is to me they're "second choices". They're not what I wanted to be using. But I'm happy to put up with their little frustrations and frictions because they're ideologically better than the dead corporate works I left behind.
Except then Linux and Firefox adopt corporate ideologies. The worst corporate ideologies. And suddenly these little frustrations and frictions become VERY UPSETTING.
@mcc Firefox is my 'angry choice'. It's what I feel I have to use to stave off the Chromium Hegemony.
The company continually disappoints me. They should be a bastion for the common user, but instead they are just like any other loser tech cult company.
@mcc The weird thing is that better session management would not a particularly hard thing for Mozilla to fix.
The extension Tab Session Manager has existed for years, and there was a XUL-based one before that.
Like… Windows in the year 2026… I have to reboot a lot because Microsoft makes you reboot a lot for updates. Linux I have to reboot a lot because it fuckin crashed. I'm getting like Macintosh System 7.5 levels of stability over here
