I don't use Firefox because it blows my dual core CPU to 100% and fills my 2GB of RAM. I use Vivaldi.

"Normal" users lose yet again. I have 2 tabs open. When I'm done writing this comment, I'll close one of them.

Always a questionable approach when a product attempts to *mandate* some bold new feature.

Some users are not going to like it. And particularly so if it kills performance.

It's almost like Mozilla is actively trying to discourage users. And based on the stats, it seems to be working.

Mozilla forgets extensions again—every time they implement something they do it in the core browser. This many times it must be intentional. Management must be sacked.
