Quick heads up! Check your Firefox settings. On my installation it automatically enabled the AI feature that uses too much resources and makes Firefox laggy. It also enabled sponsored shortcuts.

Thank you I just checked mine and found the same, but I have a question: will this AI feature work all the time in the background, or it will just run when I group tabs manually, because in Mozilla documentation they show that it works when you drag and drop a tab on top of another?

Also, I read that the performance issue was in version 141 and Mozilla replied to that with:
Some users who installed the Firefox 141 update in certain locales did experience performance degradation, but it was caused by a different on-device feature, not Smart Tab Groups which debuted in the update:

ā€œAfter receiving reports of issues that hadnā€™t come up in our testing [of the new semantic Url matching feature], we reversed the rollout and the performance issues should be resolved. We are working on a fix.ā€

I don't know. As soon as I saw the AI feature was enabled, I disabled it.

It is done with the Emerald Window Decorator.
Linux Mint - Community
Has to be added the your startup programs (emerald --replace)

In Compiz Config Settings Manager, under Effects, you have to enable Window Decoration.
https://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/deb...ian-emerald-theme-manager-decorator/#more-134
(that page has instructions to compile it for Debian, but on Linux Mint it is available in the repository)

In mintdesktop (under Preferences in main menu), you have to choose Compiz.

You can also edit themes or make your own. :)
