So I did check my cached data and it was almost 2 GB. I deleted it and it's running a lot faster now. The reason I never considered that is because I thought that in 2024, deleting browser cache wasn't really needed anymore.
Weird, I’ve never had to do that! Maybe just a weird fuckup on* the program’s side? Stranger things have happened, I suppose!
My partner’s Firefox is firefucked—some sites are just all black, some load super weird, some are unreadable. We know it’s the profile but have been too lazy to fix it… for over a year now. I feel like it’d be easy to fix. New profile, save the bookmarks, done. Yet here we are, using it all fucked up. Netflix and Twitch just crash if we’re not in a private window hahaha.
Dang, that is rough. My dumbass wouldn't have thought to backup my bookmarks but I really hope they are actually saved to my account. I have a lot. Hope y'all get it fixed soon. And lol @ "firefucked"!
Thank you, friend! We don’t use accounts so we’ll have to back up locally. Eventually we’ll fix this! I don’t understand how theirs is so fucked when my 8yo local profile isn’t?
Firefox isn’t perfect but I quit google and also I’m a bit of a furry fuck so it’s all I got, and it’s always been good to me!
I also hope your bookmarks are backed up!
I think my bookmarks are tied to my account. I can access my desktop browser ones from my phone. I have had a weird bookmark duplication glitch plague me though. It's just a mess all the way down.
