So I lashed out on Twitter (https://twitter.com/tmhanssonit/status/1142370265042685952) and ended up here. I don't know what the casue is, but some background information: I have multiple tabs open, some of them are standard tabs like email, Github, my webshop and so on. At any given time I have maximum 10-15 tabs open, but usually only around 5. Sometimes when opening a new tab Firefox greets me with this little thing: https://i.imgur.com/zLD8o9x.png and I need to restart Firefox (which never opens automatically again btw) and all my login cache are cleaned (that's how my settings are) which means I have to enter my 2FA in all the tabs again. I would be totally fine with this if I was the one deciding when to restart and when not to, but when Firefox makes the decisions over my head, sometimes several times per day, I get frustrated. When using Windows I noticed that Firefox asks the user something like "do you want to do this now" with an option to do it later. Why isn't that implemented in Ubuntu as well? Thanks for all your hard work btw.
