can someone tell me the difference between locking a tab in firefox and protecting a tab? I can't find the answer to this.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is that default Firefox functionality? I can't find either in my copy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
hmm. that's a good question. I wonder if I have this feature from one of my extensions.
no wonder I couldn't find documentation.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Hmm. I have both of those options, but I have no idea what they do.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Help help! The click wheel on my iPod has stopped working. I cannot scroll through menus or change the volume. It just started doing this on the ride home tonight.
ETA: FIXED! The reset trick worked. But still, alarming. I've never had any trouble with Candylike the iPod before.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
le nubian, what was the answer? I have the same extention and now I'm curious.
Jilli, sometimes they need a swift kick in the pants. Like a PDA they're essentially on all the time, so when it starts acting quirky the best thing is a reset. It's normal.

SA -
okay, one will keep the tab open unless you specifically close it (protect I think)
one will force links you click to open in new tabs (lock I think)
You can lock and protect (since these are two different functions which is called "freeze").
