Amazing. These types of changes are a step in the right for direction for Mozilla. I abandoned Firefox long ago for Chrome but now with containers, e10s, and Electrolysis I'm planning on moving back.

I realize it's somewhat off-topic, but when on Android, I have found no better browser than Firefox because of extensions. uBlock Origin is indispensable if you don't want to root your device.

I'm finding the reverse - I'm the last of my co-workers to still use Firefox as a daily driver (theyre all on Chrome) but the performance problems have just about made me give up on it. Too many cases of it freezing up, and Google Maps still makes it crash.

  Can you run the "Pulse" experiment and provide feedback on the sites that are slow and/or broken? We will use that data to help debug performance problems - especially the worst ones on popular sites. https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/pulse https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/pulse
