  • Um… firefox has this feature… did you not try googling what you wanted before posting about it on the internet?

    Like seriously, open your firefox app, turn on your brain, open “Settings” and see the settings youre here begging for under “Tabs -> Close Tabs” (ff mobile models tab lifecycle differently but will gladly auto close tabs) and under “HOMEPAGE -> Opening Screen”

    If you’re still confused, you need to remember that on mobile they tend to obfuscate the actual program lifecycle from the user since mobile software tends to follow a different set of design paradigms and objectives. Firefox the mobile app wants your experience to be seamless between the app getting backgrounded, killed, deep slept, etc.






  • oh so now we’re right back around at time zones again, wonderful.

    except now it’s even more fun because there is zero standardization at all, but users are still going to expect for their computing devices to tell them a time that makes sense. Ah, but culture X thinks the day starts “6 hours before sunrise” and culture Y is more “the day starts when the sun is halfway between sunset and sunrise” and culture Z thinks something even more insane. Oops, now we’ve got locale-based time zones. Locale awareness is honestly even worse than time zones because its just so damn unexpected at times. My own computer has a horrifying mix of US and Europe locale settings, and that is already crazy enough.

    stupid people will always think everything is just so simple.
