I cannot continue working on my add-ons
There seem to be a lot of people that are saying &quot;oh, without XUL based extensions, Firefox is just a (worse) Chrome clone, so I might as well just use Chrome.&quot;<p>I think what they might be missing is that Mozilla&#x27;s conclusion is a lot like the people seem to be thinking here -- even though Chrome doesn&#x27;t have the fancy extensions that are possible in Firefox, many many more people are using Chrome than Firefox, because they see it as a better Firefox.<p>Clearly, that has something to do with either security or performance, where Firefox has a perceived lag.<p>Mozilla is actively working to improve performance, and you may not want to switch to Chrome after all, because Chrome may instead be the poor man&#x27;s Firefox (I personally think this is already the case, simply because with my 679 open tabs, Chrome would simply kill itself [44 loaded]).<p>This video is one of the most exciting I have seen with regards to web browser performance, and it&#x27;s Mozilla:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=an5abNFba4Q" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=an5abNFba4Q</a><p>More info on what this means for Firefox:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Quantum" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Quantum</a><p>TL;DR: What if even with the missing XUL extensions, you wouldn&#x27;t want to switch to Chrome, because Firefox was just plain faster?
