on desktop i.e linux - firefox keeps leaking memory on many tabs / sites. whereas chromium browsers do it at a slower pace. which means on desktop linux - I have fewer tabs open on firefox than I would with a chromium based browser.
my other biggest complaint - firefox forcing me to update itself on desktop by refusing to open a new tab.
I still use firefox though but not gonna deny the pain
- beej71 4y agoI haven't had problems with FF being leaky on Linux desktop. Some sites were... Years ago Gmail on FF used to leak tons whereas Chrome didn't. Unclear where the fault lay, but I'm sure Google wasn't losing sleep over it. But I don't use Gmail anymore and happily run FF everywhere.
