Task Manager (about:performance) REMOVED!?

After a recent update, I tried to use the Task Manager to view my running extensions and see WHICH extension was using a lot of memory.

I noticed that I was persistently redirected to "about:processes" instead.

Upon doing some research, I found this... https://techdows.com/2023/07/firefox-removes-about-performance-in-favor-about-processes.html https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1836191

I cannot believe this.

Why remove an incredibly useful tool, just because you feel like the other one is "better?"

about:processes is good, but gives NO option to view individual memory or CPU usage per each INDIVIDUAL extension.

Either bring the old Task Manager back, or combine both of their functionality into one page.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I will be reverting back to the previous version.

I cannot understand why devs feel the need to completely cut and kill perfectly useful and harmless tools. This is very frustrating.

Someone, please direct this feedback to the developer team. I want my options open, not someone else taking tools away from me.

I've been using Firefox for many years BECAUSE OF its customization abilities.

It seems that with each update, they are taking more and more away.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

They already explained it here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1840473#c9

He mentioned about:profiling, perhaps you could learn to use it.
