Does anyone have this issue were firefox becomes slow if left open for a long time. In my case after a couple of weeks rendering becomes slow and when I use youtube for example if is laggy, just trying to change volume taka few second to show the volume bar. It also happens to my laptop at work. I have around 30 tabs open.

    Stop downvoting people who treat computers the way they ought to work! Needing to restart shit, with any regularity, is a flaw. Some of us are doing work, god dammit, and having to get things set up from scratch is a pain in the ass.

    All the stuff I have open is open for a reason. The fact it all gradually stops working is not excused by the fact it can be unfucked by a hard reset. It’s supposed to keep working.

      • Save work at end of day
      • Shutdown computer
      • Go to sleep
      • Wake up
      • Turn on computer

      Not really getting why this is such an issue? Are you also upset about having to change the oil in your car?

      I need to drive! The oil they put in at the factory should be enough!

        And your work’s just… there? All relevant programs open? All the documents you’ve been editing or referencing, all in the order you left them? Everything set up the way you like it?

        I will not entertain a car analogy.

          What in the computer illiteracy am I reading?

          My files are saved, my documents are bookmarked, my internet browser saves the state of the previous session, the programs I need are icons I can double click on the desktop.
