For the fun of it I fired up FF and opened up 50 tabs. I purposely picked sites which
have lots of adverts which get updated. 10 of those tabs were of a weather site which
updates the data very frequently.
Btw, FF nightly now has a tracking protection feature that does the "no
tracking" job of many of the privacy add-ons like Privacy Badger,
Ghostery, Disconnect Me, etc. They even have a menu option, both are
still hidden inside about:config though.
The only "issue" I saw is that playing a video from youtube
is choppy even though you can see from the progress bar that the video itself has been
totally downloaded. I suspect this is due to the single process threaded nature of the FF
implementation.
Again, FF now has something called electrolysis (e10s), which makes it
multi-threaded. Not sure which versions of FF has the feature. I find
it is quite effective, but maybe a bit buggy.
