Good read. The above mentioned web apps are my biggest pain point at the moment with Firefox. I still use Gmail in Firefox, but it's much slower than running it on chromium. I just accept that, since Google makes all of that.
However, with Google Docs I actually switch over to a chromium browser, even the new Edge beta, because it is simply too slow in Firefox.
It looks like they've taken notice of that and are tackling it head on. Excellent work!
