Comment Re:as fast as Chrome? (Score 1) 688

I've not yet tried it with FF 29, works great on FF 28.

I've not figured out a way to highlight the current tab, but I use another way to show me which tab I'm on. I disable the close button (X) on all tabs except for the current one, so I can look to the far right of my tab list for the (X) as I have tabs on the right.

With a vertical monitor, my tab width is small, but I can show many tabs without scrolling (about 70 un-collapsed).

How could you possibly use Chrome with that many tabs and not have tabs on the side?

I routinely have 50-100 tabs open in Firefox, memory usage is great, even with a bunch of add-ons, from versions 26-28. Granted, some of my add-ons help reduce overall resources by blocking cookies and scripts. Also 'click to play' is a necessity so Flash only loads on the few sites I allow.

Also try Ghostery and Disconnect if you want to block known advertising sites. It lets through all the requests to cloud providers like //ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js and such which track you, but if you also run Cookie Monster and Referrer Control, they don't get much.

I would love a noscript/request policy like addon that would allow me to substitute "common" shared resources, like jquery or bootstrap, from a local cache.
