So I'm a Firefox user. Went back for reasons everyone here already knows; lots of privacy issues. I use a VPN too.

Anyway I switched to Firefox on my computers and mobile system. I use that VPN to try limit Google's tracking of me and I use duckduckgo for the same reason.

Long story short I just switched back to chrome on my Android, because Firefox has kinda stopped working. I used to be able to keep 100 tabs open, not I can't even keep 1 open in the background. When I go back it just forgets what it was and won't refresh. I click refresh and it shows it's refreshing, but then nothing happens.

Nothing I can do. I'm reading some or I see a great article and I open it right away in a FF tab for later. I go back it doesn't load. Then I can't reset/restart it, because it won't die and then it stops syncing, etc.

It's really really bad. Sadly this wasn't the case when I decided to switch about 8 months back, this is only in the last 60 days.

I'll keep using Firefox for now on my desktop, but honestly I really rely on profiles and sync across profiles, which is a pain to get around on FF as it is, but now it's a big burden I can't really see my way around.

Too bad, but honestly I need a reliable tool more than I need privacy at this stage.

I was seeing similar symptoms. Fixed by setting cookies and all other state except bookmarks, one or two others, to clear upon browser exit.

Interesting extreme user, would be interested to learn more about how you compute.

Happy to connect anytime and share. I'm on most platforms with this handle.
