“Around 230MB less RAM was consumed while running the Speedometer 3.1 benchmark. While ~230MB may not seem like a lot, this was just a simple single-tab test case and likely to be compounded with more common use-cases of multiple tabs across the span of hours of use.”
Firefox 141.0 also no longer requires a forced restart after an update has been applied by a package manager.
As an Archlinux based user, I appreciate this.
TWENTY YEARS TOO LATE!
Edit: lol @ downvotes - I was fighting with Firefox memory usage on Linux when most of you were fresh out of diapers. Blind and senseless dedication to a thing without scrutiny and a realistic perspective on the faults of thing is what make “fanbois” a derogatory term.
