Please don't read too much into this ;) We moved from self-hosted Discourse to hosted Discourse. The transfer was initiated late from the Mozilla side (my bad) and the automatic system from Discourse kicked in.

    Please tell guys who is responsible for js engine to fix handling of large cookies that google is using to slow down youtube on firefox. It is impossible to watch youtube logged in because of that. God bless you sir.

      I really only use Firefox and I’ve never had an issue with YouTube logged in and I use it a lot.

      What's the bugzilla number / link ?
    - sdk- 2y ago
      WFM. You might want to either ask help on support.mozilla.org or file a bug on bugzilla.mozilla.org if you have a step to reproduce.

      As others said, having more details would be helpful (or a bug report on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/). In general, we quickly act on obvious bugs/regressions on major websites. Often, such major issues on big websites are caused by certain add-ons or antivirus software.

Thanks for the explanation! Is there any chance to move away from the Discourse? It's a bit too slow (on any page opening), but the biggest issue is its hostile habit of catching the browser "find in page" hotkey (replacing the local find with the remote site search).

  I hate that feature with an intensity that's hard to describe. I know you can press it again or something but for the love of $deity don't fuck with the defaults. That said I'm equally angry my browser so happily allows this. Sure if it's a proper web application like OnShape then sure, override default key bindings, but ask me first and remember my choice. If I say no then just don't feed those keystrokes to the webpage.

    > but ask me first and remember my choice This. Just this. I'd say websites should be able to "offer" their own search, so when you do find-in-page it shows the default search with a button to "change to custom website search ([ ] remember)" or so.

  Hint: on most websites, you can press Ctrl+l to focus the address bar, and then Ctrl+f isn't hijacked by the current page any more. Still wish pages would stop hijacked hot-keys in the first place, but hope this helps.

  While I do understand the frustration, I think the "find in page" hotkey isn't a big enough reason to change the platform. Myself, I am happy with the performances. By the way, what would you replace it with?

With all other recent news from Mozilla (large scale firings, multiple leadership changes, the new ToS and removal of the promise to never sell our data...), I won't read too much into it but simply add it to the list. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43185909 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43185909

Given Mozilla's continual frittering away of cash, would it not show some constraint to not pay for "cloud" hosted stuff for things that could easily be hosted by Mozilla and probably for less (with a less absurd choice of software) - it's already pretty much game over anyway, as a long time defender of Mozilla it is impossible these days to argue.
