that's just not true... i've used firefox consistently since v. 0.3 (phoenix) so that's at least one. plus a couple others in this thread make a few. i bet there are a few more out there too, so that makes a bunch. =)
anyways, i have ~350 tabs open on firefox 54, and so i can't wait until 55 lands to see this great improvement.
the chrome lead for mac told me that they too are working on better performance with 100's of tabs open and that should land sometime soon as well (even so, i'm a diehard firefox fan so it will be hard to make me switch).
- johnp_ 9y agoWhy not switch to Firefox Beta to get those improvements immediately? With the removal of the aurora channel, Mozilla is trying to get more people on the beta train, that now is the only stabilization phase between Nightly and Release. As a die-hard Nightly user I usually install the Beta (x64) version for other users and, depending on the add-on compatibility, enable e10s or some other features (e.g. TCP Fast Open) that may already be in A/B testing. Right now it makes an amazing difference in user satisfaction.
- clairity 9y agoyes, i have developer edition installed for testing, but still use the release version as my main browser. it's just a couple weeks left to wait so i think i can hang on until then. =)
