lower RAM usage is great, but not being forced to restart Firefox after being updated by a package manager sounds so nice!

~~most gui apps need restart, certainly hugely complex 'os' like browsers. in theory you can do something like live patching but it probably isn't worth the effort with session restore.~~

Edit: misunderstood 'forced'

Hope floorp implement this.

Good improvements, looking forward to it being somewhat on par with Chromium some time in the future as well. I hope there are efforts to make this happen.
