I've been using Vivaldi for a few months now and basically forgot about Firefox. 1. Address Bar abd Tabs in the bottom without having to hack Firefox XUL/CSS. 2. Tabs. I have 7-8 stacks at any point. For example, I can start reading HN articles, leave the tabs open and them move to another stack for work, research, whatever. I have around 100+ tabs open at any time (and they consuming a little over 12Gb of memory). The tabs stick at restarts. 3. Email. Simple notifications. Useful since I'm running on Arch with no desktop/notifications, etc... 4. Chromium. I'm sorry but as of right now it's better than Firefox Quantum. 5. Screen Capture, Transaction, QrCode support, Chrome plugins, etc...

Rather than tab stacks, try Firefox Containers + https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/conex/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/conex/ It gives you the option to hide all tabs that aren't in your current container. The other advantage it gives over tab stacks in Vivaldi / Edge / Chrome is that they're actually containerized. Tabs in container A can't access anything from tabs in container B. If you're running a device with low RAM, you can add https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-disc... with the option turned on to discard tabs as soon as they're hidden.

  Possibly the only advantage that Firefox has over Chrome.

    No need if it still works. It would probably take a breaking change in containers itself for conex to really need to update. There may be another similar extension if you're of the "completely working code must be updated for it to be of good quality" mindset though.
