Are Firefox devs starting to struggle with Firefox development? There have been four point releases in two weeks and some of the bugs are ones that could easily been caught if they did more testing. It looks like Manifest v2 has also increased the amount of newbies using Firefox so Firefox is getting more bug reports in general. Does Firefox need to realign their dev schedule to properly triage bugs instead of their constant having to squeeze out patches and force restarts all the time (some releases are just 2 days apart).

I am concerned it will get worse as they will inevitably copy Chrome's two weeks cycle soon and we will practically have no difference between nightly builds and regular builds and you will basically have to restart your browser every day.

Firefox is probably the most at risk browser right now, especially as a lot of the technical users have moved to forks where they submit less bug reports upstream.

Dunno.
I turn off automatic updates and just dismiss the nags for weeks until I finally do a reboot of my computer, then I install the latest update.

I never had to restart Firefox once on Windows 10 and 11 for an update. Firefox literally updates whenever in the background, who the fuck cares.
