As a regular user, it was worth it. Firefox was honestly pretty shit on (at least on Windows) pre-e10s. Before, I had to kill firefox every few days because CPU usage would climb for no reason. Since then, the only restarts I do are for updates.
As a browser, it works much better, and as an extension developer as well, I'm glad I can write one extension that works in most browsers now.
Yeah, it sucks they removed the level of customization they used to have, but overall that changes are welcome.
That said, this whole thing is a huge weakness to me: having some organization decide what I can put onto my own computer is a frustrating tradeoff, but now it's gone from a nuisance to a real fucking problem.
I'm not an imbecile. I can manage my own browser plugins. Give me a switch to install XPIs without having some authority sign them, or at least verify once on install and piss off after that. I don't like my devices phoning home every 30s to make sure I'm "safe."
