lol I was so confused by Firefox not needing to restart that I tried running update again and then closed it myself because I thought something went wrong
that forced restart is probably going to be a huge win for our rolling release brothers and sisters.
I believe, Firefox bugfix releases get rolled out pretty quickly on most non-rolling distros, too, so I don't think it's a terribly different experience, unless you're on a distro with Firefox ESR, like e.g. Debian.
WHAT???? ALL OF THOSE FEATURES HAVE BEEN IN NIGHTLY FOR A MONTH AND I STILL ALWAYS RESTART IT OUT OF HABIT! IT'S LITERALLY PART OF MY ROUTINE AND NOW YOU TELL ME IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE ANYMORE?
Watch out, we got a badass over here. Running a nightly build and not reading the patch notes, so brave.
AND THE BEST PART IS THAT YOU STILL CAN RESTART IT IF YOU WANT TO! WELCOME TO THE FUTURE, LUCY!
How was memory use actually reduced? I read several articles on this, but I didn’t see anyone talking about how they achieved this.
Fork server - eliminates the need to restart and reduces memory per new process
Awesome! Thanks.

I miss the days when it was normal to just shut down the pc when you were done with it. Leaving things on all of the time isn't healthy.
When I finish what I want to do on my PC, I type “yay” enjoy text and pacmans going left to right, press enter some times, and type sudo pw some times.
After that I reboot to check, that I am not stuck in TTY and turn off after
I always turn computer off when done, it never sleeps or hibernates, no need since I'm either using it or not, through been leaving it on 24/7 at moment due to wiping some hard drives which takes time, so it's working which is fine 😬
Fully disagree. Just leave it on, restart it once every 7-10 days if you're using windows. Linux, reboot when it asks, could be months.
My switch to linux came just in time bby
Good to know that I am not the only one mistaking Cr1TiKaL aka MoistCr1TiKaL aka penguinz0 aka Charles Christopher White Jr. as Asmongold aka Zack Hoyt (the rightwing influencer).
I swear to God, if I ever have to restart my Firefox again because snap without asking updated Firefox again in secret, I'm going to fucking lose it....
use flatpaks instead. snaps infamously suck.
Charlie's still using that gamer version of Opera though. With the fake key stroke sounds enabled.
Charlie is a simple creature.
Hint: :q!
