Focus on fundamentals

[justMike247]

new features are fine and well, but please, focus on fundamental stuff rather than new/improved ways to just add bloat that serves no practical purpose

pages taking forever to download over a fast broadband connection: why?
streams that constantly quit because the tab crashed: why?
All the new features in the universe are as much use as **bleep** on a bull if I gotta refresh a page 6x before it downloads properly and crashes the second I try using it.

If you're having that many issues with Firefox, might be worth doing a reset

Menu -> Settings -> Account and Synchronisation -> Backup
Use that to backup your current bookmarks, history, passwords, extensions and form data

Menu -> Settings -> Account and Synchronisation -> Profiles -> Settings -> Manage Profiles
From there, click "Create a profile" to make a new one

Menu -> Settings -> Account and Synchronisation -> Restore your data
To bring your data back into that new profile

If you still have issues, it may be an extension you use, or security-software on your device.

things improved significantly, not completely, when I disabled uBlock Origin.

tab/browser crash rate improved from per minute to per day frequency

crash rate improved when I disabled uBlock Origin

not cured, still see occasional crashes, but frequency changed from 8-10x per 20mins to 2-3x daily
