That said, speed is only one of a number of factors I consider when choosing a browser, and between the horrible UI and lack of compatible extensions, I'm sticking with Chrome for the time being.
We have a more developer focused article on the Hacks Blog at https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/09/firefox-quantum-developer-... (Previous HN discussion was flagged as a dupe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15338795 )
Congratulations on the new release, it's really amazing! I'm a web developer and nowadays I'm using a lot of React. I quite often end up switching to Chrome when I debug to get a useful error message/stack trace. Is this because Facebook has targeted Chrome or is it simply because Chrome has better error reporting? If the latter is the case, are you working on improving this?

I run 60 tabs in Firefox atm, takes 2.14GB (obviously I'm using Tree Style Tabs). Runs smoothly.
I'm at 204 with about 1 GB of usage. Firefox is great with many tabs http://www.techradar.com/news/firefoxs-blazing-speed-with-hu...

I have previously in several HN comments been vocal and adamant about leaving the Mozilla shipwreck before it foundered on the shoals of 57. And I may have been wrong. At long last there is meaningful information on addons.mozilla.org about what actually works now, and what doesn't. Looking nowhere near as bleak as it all sounded just a few months ago. I can have my uMatrix, I can have something Flagfoxish, I can ope…
I'm sitting on the deck with my iPad at the moment but when I go back in I'm gonna install one of these newer FF versions (probably nightly) on my primary workstation (Arch Linux) and give it a fair chance. That box has 16c/32t so I should see a huge improvement over the currently installed FF 55.
Hopefully it will be good enough to keep me on FF for good (extensions are my big concern, although I only use a few).

Just to be clear, Firefox Quantum Developer Edition != Firefox Developer Edition, right?
"Firefox Quantum: Developer Edition" == "Firefox: Developer Edition" for versions of Firefox >= 57.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On developer edition here, no idea about Beta. Does the `about:config` option to disable signatures exist in your FF? If so, make sure you grab the correct artifact to import[1] [1] http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/xpi/nightly/treestyletab-we.xpi
It works now on Firefox Developer Edition 57.0b3 (64-bit), macOS High Sierra. It took me a while to figure out that one needs to activate it by clicking one of the icons at the top. Edit: This was a really bad idea because upgrading to 57 destroyed my sessionstore.js. None of the backups were up-to-date for some reason. Be careful and make backups!
Wow, it really is blazing fast, and just at a glance I like what they're doing with the dev tools. Unfortunately... > Vimperator : "This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox." Ouch. Guess I might need to wait a bit to make this my daily driver. All in all, though, I have to say I'm really glad to see Firefox is still solidly in this race - and with a kick ass and quite possibly superior product to bo…
There's also Saka Key [ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/saka-key/ ] that has an vim keybindings mode. It looks like currently Vimium-FF cannot open new tabs...

Email me (my HN username @mozilla.com) and I'll file for you. I'd also encourage you to look into a password manager (I like https://keepassxc.org/ , and I've recently seen folks taking a liking to https://bitwarden.com/ ) so you don't have to worry about the requirements. :)
Thank you. I think I'll just submit it tomorrow. I just need to come up with very long password which I don't forget :)
