Eric: I am sorry you experienced lag between the submission and actual showing up of your messages on Firefox Input. Rest assured that they are not discarded. Every submitted opinion (happy or sad alike) makes it to the database and does show up on the site eventually. Due to strong caching, however, this can take a while — in extreme cases I’d guess up until an hour. Usually, it’ll take about 15 to 20 minutes.

I’m also sad that only about half of my feedback ever makes it (only sad feedback has issues – happy feedback ALWAYS works)

I am very disappointed that I was promised this feature and yet it is not available to me.

I have a suggestion, but unfortunately I can only post it as HAPPY or SAD… and as SAD it only has a 1 in 2 chance of actually posting.

Thanks for nothing…

For the record, my first unposted post was about having 2 tabs left open while I went out to eat (about 3 hours) and coming back to find Firefox 4 beta 8 crashed. (the crash reporter failed to report, but did restart Firefox…

The Browser was minimized with 2 tabs: a search result in Google, and a search result on Answers.com….

AdBlock+ kept any ads from loading (it runs all the time)

The only other addon I have installed is Status4Eva (to replace the missing status bar in FF4.

I dislike using the address bar for status, especially when the status is such a light grey color as to be difficult to read…

Moving the Home button back where it belongs was trivial though, so no complaint there.

Well, that about covers what bothers me most, and what’s OK about FF4b8….

I have been able to run between 12-18 tabs without issues most of the time, but at random times FF4b8 will crash for no apparent reason… that’s just annoying…

FF3.x never crashed like that with as many or more tabs left open (possibly for days) so I hope something is done.

Also, I noted that in the Test Pilot: Week in the life of a Browser: IT shows FF4b8 used 450MB for 14 tabs on the 23rd… (being Google search result pages mostly, and no media sites, I wonder why FF4 uses so much resources)

The same number of open tabs in FF3.6.x has been and still is under 300MB… I am not happy about that, considering my 3.x version has 32 addons without any issues of stability or speed. (I removed or replaced any addons listed in the Mozilla “addons with known compatibility issues” forum (no longer found) which solved memory leak problems)

So, FF4b8 is a memory hog… no doubt about it.

I can live with that, knowing my limitations in terms of open tabs…. but it’s still disappointing.

Thanks Mozilla Team,
Eric
