Been using it forever. It’s the best browser despite Google sabotaging it and making it slower on their sites.
Long live Firefox and high praises to all those who develop, maintain and package it.
Release notes: “Firefox now defaults to the Wayland compositor […] It is also a known issue that windows are not correctly placed when restoring a previous session on launch.” I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strengths was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?

It’s literally the opposite. Windows aren’t allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it’s unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn’t have that.

Actually KDE has a feature where you can set which display any app shows on, and if it should be maximized horizontally or vertically or both.
I use that for Firefox specifically, as I always like it on my secondary monitor.
Just right click on the title bar of any application to get to those settings.
(I’m using KDE on Fedora.)
don’t forget to get ublock origin along with it!
Where are they up to in the cycle of “gradually patching the UI so it’s usable/throwing out the entire UI for a piss poor redesign” these days?
I’ve had problems with this version of Firefox. Whenever I open a new window, it always opens my old tabs that I’ve previously closed, even though the option is disabled in the settings. Anyone else have that problem?
Recently it’s become even better and more stable. I don’t ever find a need to open another browser at this point.
