Multi-process Firefox brings 400-700% improvement in responsiveness
I switched to Firefox from Chrome about 12 months ago. It isn't as good as Chrome, but I was trying to reduce my Google dependencies.It has been mostly fine (except for an annoying OS-X multi-screen bug where it screws up the sizing).I was really looking forward to this feature to help close the gap on Chrome performance.Until August (I think Firefox 48.x), when it became unusable on any site with... something. I'm not entirely sure what triggers it- I don't think it is just video alone. Something make the entire browser lock up entirely for minutes, and sometimes it even runs out of memory and I have to kill it via the OS.No add-ins (except for Firebug).Frustratingly, I can't replicate it well enough to be a useful bug report.I'm this close to switching back. Muscle memory and shortcuts to Firefox is the only thing stopping me.So.. this will be great, but please make it a workable browser.
