yoasif Mod , to Firefox in I'm trying to change the private window shortcut from the default to ctrl + shift + n using autoconfig.js, but I wasn't sure how
@yoasif@fedia.io avatar

Why would you want to do that? Control-Shift-N continues to make the most sense for that function. I could understand the objection to Control-Shift-P, but I also don't know what would be a better shortcut for a new private window.

Sorry, I know this doesn't help you do the hack you want to do.

yoasif Mod , (edited ) to Firefox in Firefox not unloading tabs on MacOS reliably
@yoasif@fedia.io avatar

Question: Most of resources I've found online lead me to believe that all I need is to modify browser.low_commit_space_threshold_mb. But it's nowhere to be found. about:config on MacOS is just returning an empty value and offers me to set it. Dare I? Would it actually work?

You can always remove the edit if it breaks things catastrophically. Why not try it and see?

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/base/AvailableMemoryWatcherMac.cpp leads me to believe that this functionality should work if you can trigger it.

I currently have a puny 380 tabs open that consume 42GB RAM on my MBP '21 Max whatever (with 64GB total, shared with the GPU).

This seems like the bigger problem.

If Firefox is using an unexpected amount of RAM, report a bug by following the steps below:

  1. Open about:memory in a new tab.
  2. Click Measure and save...
  3. Attach the memory report to a new bug
  4. Paste your about:support info (Click Copy text to clipboard) to your bug.

If you are experiencing a bug, the best way to ensure that something can be done about your bug is to report it in Bugzilla. This might seem a little bit intimidating for somebody who is new to bug reporting, but Mozillians are really nice!

If you prefer not to open a bug, you can instead reduce the number of content processes used by Firefox to a lower amount by going to about:config and changing dom.ipc.processCount.webIsolated to a lower number.

yoasif OP Mod , to Firefox in How Firefox Loses When it Tries to Copy Chrome
@yoasif@fedia.io avatar

Update to the bug I filed that was introduced in Firefox 116 - apparently, it isn't a bug:

I don't think this is a bug, its a side effect of the behavior for the ctrl|cmd + shift + T shortcut changing in 116 to reopen the last closed tab or window, in the order closed.

Technically, you closed a window when you dragged the tab out to a window, and then back to the original window. The exact same behavior happens if you use repeat those steps and use the ctrl|cmd + shift + N shortcut to reopen the last closed window.

There's an open needinfo for the author of the regressor, so I don't have much of a comment, but... it is very clearly a bug and very clearly a regression - Chrome doesn't do this (and actually has the newly claimed Firefox behavior) -- and neither did Firefox before it regressed.

You are trying to enable ClearType only on certain apps? Is ClearType a feature that Microsoft lets apps opt into even when it is disabled (as far as you know)?

@yoasif@fedia.io avatar

FWIW, it isn't even true that Chrome will show you all of the tabs - the browser continues to let you open tabs even after it stops updating the tab display to indicate that there are additional tabs - some tabs are just going to visually be out of reach, unless you close some tabs.

changes the Ctrl+Shift+T keyboard shortcut to reopen the last closed tab or last closed window in the order they were closed or restore the previous session if there aren’t any tabs or windows to reopen.

Amusing that Firefox gets worse to match Chrome here. Oh well.
