Pale Moon ;) It'll support XUL when Firefox drops it. I've used Tree Style tabs too long to give it up. UI doesn't constantly change. The UI is pre-Australis

Pale Moon ;) It'll support XUL when Firefox drops it. I've used Tree Style tabs too long to give it up. UI doesn't constantly change. The UI is pre-Australis. This is one of the reasons I moved to Pale Moon.

In the hopes that you might know something about this: I'm on an attempt to move back to Firefox for various reasons. Tree Style Tabs (and tab unloader) are big reasons for this. In the past I moved to Chrome because Firefox seemed bloated, but after many (HN) articles arguing that this has been fixed, i decided to give FF another chance. But today I noticed that despite the fact that Tab Unloader actually does unload tabs, the Firefox process takes 1.5 Gigs on my computer even though pretty much all tabs should be unloaded at this point. It also seems to take longer for FF to show up when I alt-tab to it. Am I doing something wrong here, or is FF still a bloaty piece of (admittedly) configurable shit? I really don't want to move back to Chrome, but there isn't enough ideology in me to opt for Firefox if it still sucks.

  I'm in the same boat. I always used ff even though it's slower. it's better. Last month I ran ff and chrome both clean for 3 days. chrome was faster so I switched to it for two weeks. It's running ok, but I hate it. I hated it before, and I guess that didn't change all these years and this past month. It doesn't even have an option or a way for an addon to remove the x button from the tabs. I hate the way the chrome devs build chrome. It feels like tech-wise chrome runs better. But I will switch back to ff again end of the month. I gave chrome a good try. I am willing to wait 1 second longer every time I visit a website, every day. That's a lot. but at least it will work like I want it. And if it crashes, then I can just restore everything with one click. Unlike chrome that still crashes but I need to two clicks per window to restore everything..
