great! multi-process firefox will better utilize your 12 cores and 64GB of memory
It would except the user interface will be stripped so bare you can't actually have more than a dozen or so pages open at once! I know there are many people in the same position as me. They open a lot of tabs. When Google killed off vertical side tabs (which were only ever a hidden option you had to enable manually anyway), they went back to Firefox. And now Firefox is taking the vertical side tabs out in the street…

http://www.computerworld.com/article/3099804/it-industry/ver... > Verizon must pay even if Mozilla walks from Yahoo search deal
Yes Verizon must honor the Contract, all contracts, Yahoo committed to, that is standard That contract however I believe was for 5 years, I am talking about what happens after the 5 years is over, which I believe will be in 2019 or 2020. After which Verizon has no contractual obligation to continue paying Mozilla for anything and likely will cease the partnership
That's not the point. There's a poison pill in the contract. Mozilla can walk out of the existing contract, get all of the money in lump sum, and sign with another search partner (while still being paid by Verizon). There are other search engines waiting in line, Mozilla's not married to Verizon.

#153When vimperiator, Zotero and tree style tabs stop working I will need to find another browser.
What a clusterfuck Mozilla is becoming.

> They they take away my TreeStyle Tabs and a few other Extensions I dont care how much faster it is, FF will be removed my all my systems This is what I don't understand. What would you use instead? Do you see another vendor attempting to recreate XUL-like extensions? Built in functionality like the stuff in Vivaldi doesn't count, since those aren't extensions.
I don't give a damn if the functionality I want is in extensions or the main product. I give a damn that it exists. If Vivaldi has the features I want and Firefox can't have them I will use Vivaldi.

After vertical side tabs are impossible in Firefox because Chrome banned them because someone at Google "didn't like how they looked", I want to see you run 679 tabs on Firefox.
What do you mean? They are running this experiment: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
Does that do collapsible tree structures of tabs?
Does that allow me to bookmark a whole tree and reload it later?
Can that auto hide and auto reveal?
Or is it a shitter half copy of tree style tabs that will never actually be released because it would "confuse normal users".
I'm not a normal user I don't want a crippled product. Normal users use Edge, Safari, IE or Chrome anyway. They won't use Firefox because it doesn't come pre-installed or get advertised on google.com. There is no point in Firefox chasing normal users. They need to chase power users and importantly web-developers.
Re: I cannot continue working on my add-ons
#156If this WebExtensions move makes Tab Mix Plus stop working (I use multi-row tabs extensively) then I will no longer have any reason to continue to use Firefox. I put up with it's poor performance and instability merely for this one feature. Nobody needs a clone of Chrome; we already have Chrome.
I also wish chrome would stop prepending http:// everytime i copy an ip from the url bar.
But by the standard of a url, it has to contain the http:// (or whatever protocol/scheme). Otherwise it's not a url.
Re: I cannot continue working on my add-ons
#157There seem to be a lot of people that are saying "oh, without XUL based extensions, Firefox is just a (worse) Chrome clone, so I might as well just use Chrome." I think what they might be missing is that Mozilla's conclusion is a lot like the people seem to be thinking here -- even though Chrome doesn't have the fancy extensions that are possible in Firefox, many many more people are using Chrome than Firefox, becaus…

"perceived".
Perception can come from marketing.

Wow, I actually like all of those features. Really hope they get implemented into the stable version!

#159Can someone explain me in a simple way the "xul prevent us to switch to multi process" argument ( when i'll naively think - just use one more dedicated process for xul. ?). Xul design & gecko

No, it won't do trees: https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter/issues/498
But I found this: https://github.com/bwinton/TabCenter/issues/868
"I've been talking with the people implementing WebExtensions for a while now, and they are committed to adding the APIs necessary to support something like TabCenter (or TreeStyle Tabs, or any of the other side-tabs add-ons). I don't know their final timeline, but I would be very surprised if the new APIs weren't available before we turned off old-style extensions, and I have already started working on a new branch that implements TabCenter as a WebExtension."
So TreeStyle Tabs can be ported to the new system or an equivalent addon can be built.
I personally use TreeStyle Tabs. I have not tried this Tab Center thing and did not know about the tech behind it.
