theweaselkingFirefox 47 change log:
"The browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand preference has been reset to its default value (true) to avoid e10s performance problems. Because faster is better!"
No, you stupid-ass motherfuckers, this is SLOWER, not faster, because when I want a tab, I want it *now*, and I wanted it loaded because, get this, it was IN AN OPEN FUCKING TAB. Having to wait for a page to load after I click on it WASTES MY FUCKING TIME. If I didn't want that page loaded already when I look at it, it wouldn't be in a tab.
And if you were changing the default behaviour, sure, okay, but you're not. You're RESETTING MY CUSTOM FUCKING SETTING THAT I SPECIFICALLY MADE NOT-DEFAULT, because, like Yahoo search and supporting anti-gay hate groups and endorsing misogynist harassment campaigns, MOZILLA'S DEFAULTS ARE OFFENSIVELY GODDAMN STUPID.
"Firefox: The browser I only keep using because Chrome's extension support is lousy and their UI is unfixably broken"

Date: 2016-06-08 09:57 pm (UTC)Maybe for slightly different reasons, though - I have quite some tabs that auto-reload and give me info via <title> tags. Also I want to re-start, enter my gazillion basic-auth passwords and be fucking done with it. Not have to re-open keepass every 10 minutes when I want to glance at Yet Another "Protected" Internal Site.
(There's another new nag-feature - the auto-complete suggestions now don't start right under the URL-bar, but on the left-most part of the screen. And I use a huge screen, with some estate on the left usually reserved for bookmarks. This misfeature now necessitates looking all the way to the left just to see what auto-complete might suggest. *HATE*)
