The no restart is kind of awesome. WebGPU progress is also great, even if not on Linux yet.
Kind of neat… Don’t know if really useful at all, but cool anyway
- No More Forced Restarts: This is a huge relief for many!. Firefox on Linux no longer requires a forced restart after your package manager applies an update. This means smoother, uninterrupted browsing, even during system updates.
- Reduced Memory Usage: ForkServer leads to a significant reduction in memory consumption for content processes. The base resident memory for a content process is now around 50% lower. This helps Firefox run more efficiently, especially if you have many tabs open.
- Faster Process Startup: You’ll notice that content process startup times are reduced by approximately 35%. This translates to snappier new tab openings and overall improved responsiveness.
Sounds actually too good to be true to me.
‘those pesky “restart required” messages after an update?’
Hmm so they want to make modifying my system without my permission even more seamless ?
I’m not sure I like that very much…
