Agree. And as someone who's been running the Developer Edition as his primary browser for some time, I'm happy to report that it has been by enlarge reasonably stable--even though I've had e10s enabled.

This was true for me until the most recent major version (42.x) that broke the Tree Style Tabs extension. My whole browsing workflow depends heavily on that extension, so I had to revert to using the stable version for now.

  I also used to rely pretty heavily on Tree Style Tabs. With the release of 42 I've been using tab groups (cmd+shift+e) with pretty satisfactory results. e: cmd+shift+e assumes a Mac. Not sure what other systems use.

    Hmm, i'll have to try that thanks for the heads up. Losing tree style tabs in 42 has made me nervous, it was the primary reason I love firefox. Without that most of the why in using firefox goes away for me.

        Never heard of it, quick scan of the page seems to indicate that it is windows/linux only though? I did a quick look at the download page and didn't see an osx build. That is overall fine but I like to keep my browsers portable across all of my primary operating systems.

        Yeah, that's kind of my only advantage for not liking Mac (wish I did:). Still, it is just a forked Firefox so it uses the same extensions etc for now, maybe using FF on Mac and PM on the other platforms would be possible?

        Pale Moon's stance on pdf.js makes me very nervous: https://www.palemoon.org/technical.shtml#features https://www.palemoon.org/technical.shtml#features As I understand, the author's opinion is that Adobe Reader is more secure than pdf.js. I'm not sure I would trust them with maintaining a secure browser in light of that. Their monetization model is also questionable (I understand it injects ads / referral links).

  Extensions breakage is not the same as low browser stability though. Keeping things working is not solely the task of mozilla devs, extension developers have to do their part too. Sometimes it's easy easy as toggling off some experimental feature or installing a beta build of that extension. At other times you'll have to report a bug yourself. And sometimes extensions just die because they're unmaintained. It happens eventually. That's nothing unique to developer edition. You're just more likely to see something that'll trickle down to release builds soon anyway. Personally I've managed to live with some annoyances on nightly for a few weeks until they got fixed.
