Indeed. It's the only reason I stick with chrome even though I desperately want to find an alternative. I cringe every time mozilla launches yet another overly ambitious project while their market share in their core product continues to decline and glaring issues with their browser persist. I don't know how their strategy will play out for them but I'm not optimistic.

You can try Firefox's sandbox code (work in progress) in Firefox Nightly channel (30). Then invoke the File > New e10s Window command. No about config magic.

  I use Nightly and I hadn't noticed that, so I tried it; an alert opened: > To use out-of-process tabs, you must set the layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled preference and restart. Opening a normal window instead. So it does actually require a about:config tweak to enable it.

    Sorry, I forgot that Linux and Windows need off-main-thread composition (OMTC), which is already enabled by default on OS X. * Linux OMTC: https://bugzil.la/722012 https://bugzil.la/722012 * Windows OMTC: https://bugzil.la/913249 https://bugzil.la/913249
