Last Pass? But I guess all the developers have stuff in the oven, if they can. We'll see.....

All of those extensions you have marked a Legacy in Yellow will cease to work with Firefox 57.

After lots of tweaking, Firefox Nightly is now the memory hog!

Speed and Performance are pretty much neck-and-neck though!

Attachment 147713

I used the same tweaks you did and Fx 57 does use memory but the size of it is 1/2 of what Chrome was Chrome used over 300 mb of space while fx 57 is only using 145.9Mb

In their current form/version, yes. I just can't believe something like Last Pass will just die.

It all depends on the Devs. Many of them are quite upset about this, but yeah an extension like Last Pass will probably be made 57 compatible. No third party theme will even work properly in 55 as it breaks the multi process thing.

No doubt there will be some scurrying between now and Nov. We'll just have to see what happens.

It moves to Aurora which is now beta in August so I think it will be released long before Nov,

Nov was the only date I had ever heard. Roll down a couple of pages here:

Well from 8.22.2017 till November is quite a long time to test a simple browser. Maybe they are giving the Devs till November to get their extensions in order??

No idea, Josey. Just found that Mozilla blog when Googling for 57 release date. Maybe they have to go thru something like Redmond does, self-host it until they're in love with it.
