Have there been recent issues? I've been using Firefox consistently for years and lately it seems better than usual.

  My main concern is the questionable use of Studies and other experimental paths to test things like advertising in Firefox. I don't like this. I would prefer my browser to be more neutral. Of course I can disable it if I want. But, I wish I could simply trust my browser vendor to do the right thing. The browser itself seems solid, I've been happy since Quantum and look forward to seeing WebRender rollout.

  It's quite memory hungry. Not saying leaking per-se, but my 16GB machine at work started swapping heavily mostly due to Firefox today. Only had about 15 active tabs (though a number of dormant ones since last FF restart). Between the various processes, FF was using about 6-7GB of memory. Closing almost all of the tabs reclaimed about 2GB, so still a lot left over. That said I'm not too bothered, I can restart FF every other week or so.

  A lot of usability issues, for example: You can't disable Ctrl-Q on Linux due to a bug that they do not seem to be willing to fix. In the past I used to depend on the "are you sure you want to close N tabs?" confirmation dialog thing but now they have removed it.

  For me the JS execution is much slower than Chrome. With all these React and Angular apps around it is noticeable.
