#2IMO Firefox has just 2 things to beat Chrome: better add-ons (like treestyle tabs) and politics (made by Mozilla instead of an ads company). They are burning the first one.

#3I use Firefox because of 2 things:
1) vimperator 2) single process handling multiple tabs (I typically have upwards of 40 tabs open at a time)
Firefox is in the process of removing plugins like 1) so that it makes it possible to remove 2).
Wonderful.

Mozilla may not be an ads company, but they make the vast majority of their money from giving space to ads companies.

#7Is it just me or are Chrome's dev tools superior in every way to FF?

#8I am honestly starting to believe that Mozilla is trying to run Firefox into the ground. I am not sure if it's just bad decision making or if the decision makers themselves had been bought off by competition, but it sure does feel like this. Why do we need one more Chrome like browser out there? I specifically use Firefox because it's a) not chrome, b) has better addons. If you hamstring the addons and make everything chrome/chromium like, what's the reasons to use FF then?

If Firefox 56 is the last release to support Tree Style Tabs, it will be the last release of Firefox before I begrudgingly switch to Chromium.

+1 to Treestyle tabs (buggy though it may be), and also Tab Mix Pro, which lets me clone tabs.
