Anyone knows if Tree Style Tab is supported?

Why use 1Password, rather than Firefox Sync/Accounts?
Because it supports multi-browser, cross-platform and has way more features than FF sync.

My impression is that the bulk of Mozilla's financial backing is from competitors to Google (Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex), who have an interest in preventing Google from gaining a monopoly in the browser market. I think Mozilla employees choose to continue working on Firefox for similar reasons, though with more idealism: they have an interest in the browser market not being dominated by commercial vendors.
Mozilla has a financial partnership with Google as well. You are spot on on why Mozilla employees work on Mozilla. Source: I'm a Mozilla employees working on Firefox :)

I have a few reasons to prefer 1P over a browser based option: 1Password doesn't require a cloud sync. I just use the local wifi sync. I'm less worried about data breaches as a result. 1Password lets me save more than browser passwords: especially on mobile where I have lots of apps to log into, which shares a password with a desktop website. Also, I store additional data (like bank info, account numbers, etc) in 1P,…
I do wish it could save other passwords, though.

Firefox Sync encrypts all of its data; a data breach on the server would only result in a pile of email addresses and encrypted blobs.

Fair enough. All the mobile apps I use just stay logged in once you log in once.

Hadn't occurred to me to store non-passwords in a password manager. That seems like something a Firefox extension could provide on top of the Firefox password manager, which would make a nice substitute for a locally encrypted file. I wouldn't mind using that to store things like security questions/answers.
Does anyone know what the incentive behind the development of Firefox is at this point? Like, Chrome has such a huge browser market share, so why do they still develop Firefox? I assume it is not that feasible to invest time and money if the share is only 4%. I am just curious, and not trying to hate on Firefox. But I think most (?) non-tech people use Chrome. So maybe I am asking, what is the point of Firefox if the…
Even on a clean Firefox 50.1.0 x64 install with just uBlock Origin and multi-process enabled Firefox feels quite a bit slower than Chrome. This really shouldn't still be a thing especially with Chrome also having to deal with a bunch of Flash based content on some sites (looking at you BBC News).
Is this done in Chrome as early as 8 years ago? https://blog.chromium.org/2008/09/multi-process-architecture...
More seriously—it's somewhat sad to see Chrome get all the credit for this, when it's undoubtedly the case that both IE and Chrome were working on this at the same time.

FWIW, I use Lastpass with e10s and it all seems to work OK :).
you have manually enabled the multi process. How ?
