Firefox 144 seems to fuck up loading profiles when you have too many tabs for it to load.
Five tabs, fine.
50 tabs, it's fucked. I get blank windows and the profile is broken henceforth.
Others report this with 20 tabs.
Only workaround I can think of:
* FF 143, fresh profile, readd your tabs. Haven't tried yet.FF has fucked up hard here, tralala.
I could be wrong of course, but I just spent 3 hours on this bullshit and making lots of tabs seems to be how to get it to fuck itself up.
I'm on Linux, the 20 tabs was on Mac. I got this happening with both the snap and the deb. (I'd try Windows, but FF win doesn't seem to install in Wine these days.)
I welcome other ideas of course
[note: suggestions "lots of tabs is a wrong thing to want" will be regarded as mastodon at its worst, don't do this.]
EDIT 1: opened in safe mode, closed the window with 50+ tabs. just five tabs in browser. opened again in unsafe mode - does the blank-windows thing again. Looks like too many tabs fucks the profile irretrievably.
