You closed my tabs for THIS? Without permission, you closed 50+ tabs that I've had open for months, for this? That's it, I am fucking done.
What's a browser that
1. Can look good
2. Has a way to block ads even if it's not as good as adblock. It's ok if I have to manually add html regions to be blocked or something like that.
3. Respects its users
I was ok with most firefox changes but the latest "address bar search suggestion shit that does not get disabled even if you disable it" and now this is too much.
Chrome ;)
Vivaldi
>>52010558
qupzilla, it has built in adblock n shit

Oh look, another thread, where, once again, a user on /G bitches about how things are run, but doesn't want to do anything about it or gather a group to build his freedoms. Wow. Congrats.
Can you not restore previous session?
>Without permission, you closed 50+ tabs that I've had open for months
at least come up with something believable holy shit
This is what I'm referring to by "address bar search suggestions that can't be disabled" btw. Because pressing enter to google whatever is in the address bar wasn't good enough. Better take the place of the first history result slot that I used to use 95% of the time, for a feature that I can already get by pressing fucking enter. Now I have to either press down arrow twice or click. Does not get disabled even after disabling it.

I seriously fucking doubt that all of those tabs were necessary. Close your shit sometime.

because your session is always saved in your folder as a back up and can be restored
even if we believe your story

>>52010783
>Close your shit sometime.
not op, but i use my tabs as temporary bookmarks. firefox doesn't even load the tab until it is selected, so it doesn't use any resources. it's more convenient than clicking through a bunch of outdated looking menus to get to your bookmarks.
>>52010825
Okay, but 50+ tabs is OP being a lazy whining fuck.

Use the damn bookmarks feature you stupid fucking autist.
>>52010950
It's much more convenient to have tabs than use that shitty bookmark interface. Tab groups are good because you can have many tabs hidden in a different tab bar, and switch when needed. Good for porn.
>>52010916
It was empty.
>>52010793
I looked in the folder and restored the session from a few days ago. So I guess I'm an idiot for making this thread and should shut up. But I'm still switching browsers.
There's really nothing unbelievable about having 50 tabs open for months though. They're not loaded unless you click on them.
>>52010757
It never closed tabs for me either until I opened it today and was greeted with that page.

No, there's an option to launch firefox with tabs open from last session.

It never closed tabs to update until whatever it is it did now.

It would have prevented it.

>>52011502
Now that I have the session back and can count, it's approximately 30 programming related tabs for different topics, 5 music tabs, 4 game related tabs, 11 porn tabs.
I thought it was common for people to have many tabs open forever. Surprised at the reaction desu.
>>52011443
As mentioned above, it was empty. Had to get an older backup from the session backup folder. I didn't know that it kept multiple backups aside from the "current" backup. "Current" one was gone in my case so it showed nothing in the browser's session restore.
This is the most autistic thing I've seen in a long time. Why not find something worthwhile to bitch about?
>>52010558
If your tabs are so important, you should be using something to periodically back them up.
>>52010558

I have 16GB RAM and don't want Firefox to be able to eat all of it (which it will).
There's literally no excuse for a web browser to be using more than 2GB.
>>52010558
WELL WELL WELL.
It looks like fag marriage social justice bullshit doesn't pay the fucking bills after all.
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet dunked on!
>>52011986
Can someone show me an example of Firefox eating more than 8GB of RAM? How many tabs do you have to have open?
Even when I have like 20 tabs open it barely goes above 2 - 3GB, and that's with a ton of addons and muh web2.0 bullshit.

Not gonna blame you for not recognizing a non-/g/ meme.
>>52011977
While your post made me laugh, I wasn't baiting. I was using the "who are you quoting?" meme in a clever way to indicate that the greentexted action that I was being quoted as not doing, did not actually apply to me, because I was in fact doing it (as supported by my picture), hence the "who are you quoting?".
>>52010822
This explains why the first thing you do is whine instead of actually searching google to find out about the folder with the session stored.
>>52010822
you dun did it now. who bout cares your sex or gender? unless you're showing tits or dicks.
There is no way we can identify you correctly and correcting pronouns only distracts others and says you care more about what your called instead of any problem or solution you may be inquiring about.

Didn't Mozilla recently say they were removing tab groups because it's too niche of a feature? I laughed my ass off when I heard that.
>>52014794
There is a reason why browsers have bookmarks.
icecat
>>52016572
Bookmarks are for major things, or really important things you can't afford to lose. If you bookmarked every little tab it would turn into a goddamn mess and be difficult to organize. You'd be constantly adding and deleting bookmarks. Not to mention, you often only need a specific post or something. Your choices are leave the tab open or copy it into a notepad file or something (which I sometimes actually do).
Say you're playing a game and have like 20 tabs open about that game; forums, /vg/ thread, guides, wiki info pages, cheats, etc. You might bookmark the wiki or something, but you'd still want all the other shit open in tabs. It wouldn't be important enough to bookmark, but losing all those tabs is a huge pain in the ass, especially if you found some searching through forums and forget what search terms you used.

I'd have literally thousands of bookmarks if I bookmarked all my tabs instead of just having them as tabs. Tab groups exist for a reason. Mozilla are retards for trying to get rid of them. Glad I dropped Firefox for Palemoon.

Web browsers need to be kept up to date for security reasons. No one's going to hack you through Winamp. Though if you have an unpatched browser vulnerability, you're pretty fucked.
>>52010558

There are bookmarks for a reason, you stupid fuck.

why do you fags have 50 tabs open ?
>>52017438
Who knows man. Devs that just change shit for the sake of changing shit really irk me. Remember the whole GNOME debacle? What a mess. Now Mozilla is trying to make Firefox into NotChrome, getting rid of the extension engine and replacing it with one that is like Chrome's, removing tab groups, going with the australis theme, etc. Next we'll have them removing live bookmarks because it's too niche. Fuck Mozilla man. They're just terrible.
>>52018119
This.
That's what bookmarks were made for.
I can't even imagine having more than 10 tabs open in firefox for long periods of time.

I used to have 350 tabs on Firefox open for the past 2 years.
But due to a browser crash out of nowhere, I lost them all.
Those tabs were all archived 4chan threads by the way.
They were all anime threads of anime I haven't watched yet but I still wanted to read the reactions people had toward an episode of an anime I never watched.
I felt bad but when I realized the /a/ archive stopped being able to go back that far in the past, I managed to move on.

1. Night launch theme.
2. Open the customize view where you can move toolbars and buttons around. Remove everything except what you want to have left.
That's it.
If you're referring to the buttons at the bottom, that's part of the stupid start page, and it's not part of my firefox setup. If you want those I assume you'd just use the "new empty tabs open the mozilla start page" option.
>>52022172
By looking good I meant ability to be customized to fit most people's subjective preferences of good. In my case I mean exactly what you can see in the OP. Clean simple interface (yet functional because everything is available with hotkeys), clean icons and no bullshit.
