What do you mean by memory leaks? You mean the overall responsiveness of the browser? Like it won't say not responding sometimes or feel jerky when scrolling or opening tabs? I have just upgraded to 19 beta after reading what you posted, and so far I agree. It does seem to be more responsive, but it could just be because I have a fresh Firefox loaded. I hope it keeps this up!! There used to be a great extension called TabGroups Manager, but it hasn't worked correctly since version 17, I think. That is the only thing I am really missing so far!! Firefox needs to expand upon the great idea of Panorama in the same way that TabGroups Manager had done. I am using TabGroups Menu as a somewhat acceptable substitute, but it's just not the same. Anything better out there for managing Tab Groups? Also, I just noticed that UnloadTab has been updated. That should help the memory issues with too many tabs open. I'm going to check it out and see how it works. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unloadtab/?src=ss

Some updates from Inbound:

Now since many WebIDL bindings are landed and many still have yet to landing, more focus of Firefox is now snappy fixes, download panel, JS engine, WebRTC, Video/Audio backends these days.

When will Firefox if ever get new tab animations when dragging like Chrome and even IE have?

what are you talking about? firefox has had tab animations for a couple versions now

Maybe I did not explain it currectly.

When you move tabs around in firefox its not the same as in Chrome and IE.

In both Chrome and IE you can see the tab actually move where as in firefox you see a small arrow pointing up and then it just appears in the new spot.

nope, the tab definitely moves around just like in IE and Chrome for me and has for a couple versions now (I'm on the 19 beta btw)

I think this happens because you are using a Third party theme and the arrow is to indicate where the tab is going to drop. Try the default theme.

I am using default theme.

I take it back Tab animations are now working.

Now I just have to re enable addons one by one to see what was causingthe issue.

No issue and do share addon name so it will be helpful for others as well, enjoy tab animation.

Good news this issue is already fixed in the latest Pre Release build

http://tmp.garyr.net/dev-builds/

:)

If you are going to use Firefox Nightly Builds then use the Dev version of TMP and you will have no problems. If you happen to get one, it will be fixed by the next day.

anyone know whats going on with https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=770135 . any New Try-Builds available?

Assigned developer posted new updated patches for that bug just recently but didn't give testrun link or try builds etc. So nothing know more than that.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
