That chart suggests massive improvements since the beginning of this year. Can anyone explain how this was achieved? What precisely has changed?

In the Firefox Nightly blog, there is some discussion of the performance improvements they've delivered in each release: https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org

For example: https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2023/04/14/dropping-the-ban...

> The two big jumps are from these two fixes. Great job, Performance Team!

You can expect some blog posts from us on this topic at the end of the year / early next year. In short: Organizational focus on a performance target, significant investment, and some great new tooling. We're also reaping the benefits of foundational work that happened over the last few years.

You can click the dots and get a link to what was changed in that commit. e.g. in the sudden bump after April there is a 4 part cache related patch linking to the issue tracking ID which describes (in human terms) additional jit caching mechanisms.

> Starting from Firefox 112, users can now search for text inside the about:addons page (through the usual associated keyboard shortcuts, e.g. Ctrl-F and ‘/’) – Bug 1499500

_Finally_. It's only been _years_ that I haven't been able to search through my (admittedly far too big) list of disabled add-ons to find the one I want and turn it on.

Now we just need the collection limit on Firefox nightly removed. It only fetches the first page of 50 addons in a collection. I add things to my collection any time it seems useful, and keeping a collection in sync with what's being used across _seven_ browsers on two devices is difficult (I use multiple browsers on Android the way I use multiple browser windows on desktop; extensions usually only get installed in the workspace I actually need them for, so each install has a slightly different set of extensions and slightly different settings)
