Charlie/penguinz0 doing a celebratory pose with a section of the Firefox release notes reading: "On Linux, Firefox uses less memory and no longer requires a forced restart after an update has been applied by a package manager."

Just restarting Firefox, not the entire system.

Which doesn't really matter for 99.99% of users that are sane and only use a couple windows and tabs at a time. Saving things they aren't actively using anymore as bookmarks and using the browsing history for anything they closed previously but need again.

For the 0.01% of insane but vocal users that never close tabs and/or keep dozens of windows open, that's a big deal.

    I do this, but now I have 10k+ bookmarks, fairly organized, but the bookmark manager is trash. It is slow and getting slower. Also, searching history feels like '90's web search: hopeless if you don't remember exact keywords.
