If you want to try these performance improvements (servo, e10s) but keep legacy add-on compatibility (at least for now) I suggest installing firefox 56, disabling auto-updates, and making the following changes/additions in about:config
browser.tabs.remote.autostart true
browser.tabs.remote.force-enable true
layout.css.servo.enabled true
This way I get to keep my Tree Style Tab, Lastpass, and a few other add-ons that haven't yet been ported to WebExtensions.
Convenient FTP link, since it seems right now the automated installers are jumping between versions 55 and 57: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0b12/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0b12/
- steveklabnik 9y agoElsewhere in the thread it's stated that Tree Style Tabs has shipped a 57-compatible version, and that LastPass will be ready by the time this all hits stable.
- mdek 9y agoTrue. I did in fact have to explicitly downgrade TST to the <57-compatible version. The new version apparently doesn't yet support hiding the tab bar across the top of the browser.
- floatboth 9y agoI think the API for hiding the tab bar hasn't landed yet. You can do that with userChrome.css for now.
- sammoth 9y agoBut then you are probably using the WebExtension compatibility shim which severely reduces the performance gains in the newest versions anyway.
