I'm looking to create an "Exit Button" in the Bookmarks Toolbar. I found how to create a Restart Button (creating a Bookmark with the URL about:restartrequired), but I'm having a hard time finding for Exit (or close all Firefox Windows). Perhaps it is not possible, I don't know.

Any help is appreciated.

I asked a similar question about a year ago on Reddit (which I don't use anymore after I learned how crass management was conducted in the company). I didn't take the time to read your article in depth, but my understanding is that there seems to be an "Firefox Doomsday" article written every year. If I remember correctly, I was pointed to a graph showing the number of users of Firefox over the years, and roughly, the numbers are always increasing. Albeit slowly, but still increasing. I'm not sure what the aim of these articles would be.

I can only speak for myself in saying that Firefox is clearly faster than Chrome. Especially with the fact that I use more than 4 monitors on my system. Every Chromium based application manages multiple monitors horribly and is slow. And there's also the fact that Google seems to want to change Chromium to make it so the viewing of Ads is mandatory (preventing any Ad-Blocker from working on their platform). Plus all the Cookies, Trackers and Surveillance that happens online, Firefox is the clear winner in this race.

15 Upvotes (as of 2023-08-14), and no comments. This tells me this probably isn't a function readily available withing Firefox and that many of us are looking for the same thing and would want this function to be implemented... ๐Ÿค”

 

Is there a way to see how much memory each Firefox Add-On uses? I've tried to look into "about:processes", and "about:memory". The first one tells you the total amount of memory used by the Add-Ons, and the latter gives you a 30,000 page long report that I don't know how to make heads or tails of. I KNOW my Add-Ons are eating up a lot of memory. I want to know WHICH ones are eating up the most so I can know which ones I should maybe shut down. Ideally, I wouldn't shut any down because they are all geared toward productivity. But maybe I can prioritize some over others.

Is there an easy way to view this information? Something akin to the Chrome web browser?

To anyone who would be looking for an answer to my question: I ended up making it work with an AutoHotkey Script. When I press the Hotkeys that open Firefox's Sidebars, I have AutoHotkey automatically place the Mouse Cursor in the Textarea I want, Click, then relocate the Mouse Cursor to where it initially was, in a flash of a second.

Cheers!

 

Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox's Sidebar?

I use the Add-On "Bookmark search plus 2" which is really awesome. When I activate it's Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl + Q), the Sidebar opens, but I have to use my mouse to click on the Sidebar to grant it focus. I looked around online and haven't found anything. If anyone knows of a way, a Keyboard Shortcut, a tool or another Add-On perhaps, please let me know! Cheers!
