Losing two years' worth of browsing tabs is no laughing matter.

You're viewing part of a thread.
When that goes wrong, it’s the software fucking up. Same as deleting your bookmarks, forgetting all your passwords, or erasing your whole profile. All of which I’ve also dealt with, and if someone told me I’m stupid for calling that an error, I’d slap them.
When something is true for all browsers and happens "several times a month" -- thats not a glitch. That's how it works.
You're quoting where I mentioned forced reboots. That's not how this works. On the rare occasions where Firefox fucks up your profile in any way - it's an event, and it's a problem.
So rare that you have to bitch and moan about it
Y'all are bitching and moaning at us. I am telling you why you should stop.
The browser already works how I want. Has done for ages. Mozilla specifically tests for it. But for some goddamn reason, you think that's wrong.
Nobody is bitching or moaning at you lol.
We're mocking you for spiraling out about a problem you've created for yourself. While you somehow also simultaneously claim its not a problem and works just fine.
this shit is dumb
You have a terrible workflow.
Square peg, round hole.
I can hammer in nails with the back of a screwdriver.
people are gonna tell you its your own fault. And they’re right.
That's just what people have said to me, personally, in this thread. Including you. The rest of the thread is worse:
Firefox fixes someones mental illness…
Is this a new mental illness I haven’t heard of?
anyone who needs (or let’s be honest, thinks they need) hundreds of thousands of open tabs has something wrong with their brain and should probably see a professional about it.
AKA User was so stupid, he or she should better not use a computer in the first place.
I have only ever been responding to y'all bitching about us. I am explaining, more politely than your conduct deserves, how and why this is exactly what Firefox is for. Mozilla explicitly tests for it. The feature is right there, on purpose, and works fine. It only fucks up the same way Firefox can fuck up the bookmarks y'all keep telling people to use.
Losing data is bad, actually.
I started taking backups of my profile because Reddit Enhancement Suite kept losing all my settings. You wanna whine at me that settings aren't meant to be persistent, and I should reconfigure every plugin each time I start my browser? Because the difference between that list of options and the list of open tabs is next to nothing.
That's just what people have said to me, personally, in this thread. Including you. The rest of the thread is worse:
Yes, that was the mocking I was referring to, champ. Good work.
For the rest, I'm seeing you taking comments about a dumb workflow so personally you had to make your own comment and then spiral out when people start mocking you.
Its a dumb workflow, you look silly for defending it. Touch grass.
'We're not bitching and moaning, we're just verbally abusing you for using software as intended.'
Hey look, the block button.
God speed and keep smacking your head against that wall.
