One of my biggest gripes with Firefox sync is the way they have divided the mobile bookmarks from the pc ones. It makes the ux kinda weird as a lot of the bookmarks I use on my desktop I also use on my phone and vice verca. But when I add a bookmark on my phone it ends in a separate mobile bookmark folder.
I like Firefox. I've been using Developer Release path for years. Yet, the memory usage is such a hog.
I almost cannot run VS 2022 or Android Studio while also running Firefox to check for questions on code. [1]
I have two tabs open responding to this post (HN and HN comment), and Firefox has 13 processes running in Task Manager with ~1 GB of memory used. And in there, is a -42 MB process. I'm not even sure what a -42 MB process even means in Task Manager. No wait, now its -77 MB.
[1] Note: this is also a serious issue with VS 2022 and Android Studio. Every release, Android Studio somehow gets slower. A couple years ago, I used to be able to build, test on emulator, and deploy while having a browser open. Now I can barely open the emulator. VS is kind of a joke. To build a couple 100 line WinRT file it loads the entire device library from all of history (following MS' examples)
It's somewhat nice that the bookmarks added from mobile is marked in some way as such. Makes organizing them on a computer later easy and/or can make it easier to recall (I remember seeing this page on my phone -> I'll look for it in the mobile bookmarks folder). But depends on how you use bookmarks of course.
Chromium browsers do a similar thing IME, and while I don't mind it, I don't like that the "mobile bookmarks" folder is only really accessible from the bookmark manager proper, not the bookmarks sidebar or the desktop bookmarks bar's UI.
Oh and you can't use the bookmark tag thing on mobile either.
And you can't delete a URL (or domain) from the results of a search of browsing history. So the URL will continue to come up until you sync your history and get rid of the URL/domain on desktop.
