The menu immediately closing was recently fixed[1] in Firefox 136. We'll look into the content of that menu not working correctly. Thanks.

I've noticed that the default Firefox scroll speed is slower. As in the amount the page scrolls per rotation of the scroll wheel. This is a long shot, but do the settings here help in your case?

Would you be able to file a Firefox bug on the DataView problem? Or if you have an example link we could look at that would be greatly appreciated.

Guess what this VPN was? Just DNS over HTTPS.

Firefox now has enterprise support where the administrator can force all desktops to use certain Firefox settings including enabling/disabling/configuring DoH.

See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/enterprise/

And here's a link to details for configuration DNS over HTTPs. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/READ...

That should be 256 bytes.

Re:Making tab switching faster in Firefox with tab warming on Thursday January 11, 2018 @08:38PM (#16129754)
> How sure are you that you won't end up with a whole bunch of hot chocolate that nobody wants? What is the waste factor when the extra work is done unnecessarily?

This is one of the things telemetry data can be used for. We can include telemetry probes in the browser that tell us what percentage of the time users end up switching tabs after hovering. Then we can make informed decisions about whether the feature is worth the extra complexity (and CPU cycles) before any development work is done. As far as tailoring the feature to individual browsing habits, telemetry could inform whether or not that would be worth implementing.

If you have the time, please file a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ it's pretty painless. We definitely care about Firefox on Mac. Thanks.
