the one I use most often is about://peformance in Firefox

I used to open up Activity Monitor, but every single time my laptop fans kick on, it was the browser. with the browser performance monitor, i can see exactly which tab is being naughty. So now, I skip Activity Monitor and go straight to the source. Usually, a cmd-R on the offending tab brings it back under control. I assume some JS dev has not tested their code by having it running in a tab for an amount of time other than how long it takes to test their changes.



I think in the latest nightly, this is about:processes


It's also often just ads, and installing a blocker helps


blockers are fully engaged. it's not definitely not ads.


do you mean `about:processes`?

`about://performance` doesn't work at least from my FF, but `about:performance` redirects to `about:processes`


yes. about:performance

the // was just muscle memory/brain fart/oops

i never really noticed it redirected to processes.


omg thank you so much for this! Totally did not know this could be done from within FF!


Inhad no idea this existed.!
