I love Firefox and switched back from Chrome with FF 57, but I really wish they had a Task Manager like Chrome does, so I can spot and kill misbehaving tabs rather than have all my tabs seem to steadily slow down. It's the only feature I miss from Chrome, and hope it appears in FF soon.

Until they provide a decent UI/UX to do that, you can use about:performance for now.

  I agree, this might be "good enough" for now; thanks for the tip

about:performance

  That's useful, didn't know about that; but it doesn't show per-tab usage like Chrome's does (I think).

Adding the addon 'The Great Suspender' helped me out in this area. Also disabling HTML5 autoplay.

  HTML auto-play is absolutely infuriating. On desktop, I landed on some CNET article the other day and suddenly a video start playing (super loud, too). Why does CNET assume I want to watch this? I don't know if there's an option somewhere in FF or Chrome to block this nonsense but I really hope that feature is implemented some day.
