Electrolysis [(a.k.a. e10s a.k.a. multi-process Firefox)] has been in development for a long time but has been prioritized only recently by Mozilla (again) after not being in focus for some time.
[...]The core idea behind the new architecture is to separate web content from the core Firefox process. The two main advantages of doing so are security and performance.
Security benefits from potential sandboxing of web contents and separation of processes, and performance mainly from the browser UI not being affected by web contents.
[...]The Are We e10s yet website lists popular browser add-ons and whether or not they are compatible with e10s yet. If you browse the list of add-ons on that page you will notice that many add-ons are not yet compatible.
Mozilla made the decision to enable e10s for Firefox Nightly versions by default with [the November 7] update. This does not mean that the last phase of development has begun and that stable users will get the feature in three release cycles, however.
[...]users can disable e10s

I got tired of constantly dealing with broken addons when they switched to the rapid release schedule around Firefox 4. I don't want to go through that yet again thanks to Electrolysis. No thanks!

I like the Live Bookmarks in firefox.
I like having my rss feeds for comics and news sit right on my bookmark bar. chrome a long time ago said they wouldn't support that feature, and i feel deprived not having it there
(netflix is nicer in chrome though)

Firefox switched away from version checking addons somewhere around FF8 or FF9. I swear, Google fanboys are more obnoxious than Apple fanboys and Linux fanboys combined.

Your comment is a perfect example of how you Mozilla and Firefox proponents shit all over your own users.
From my reading of that comment, the GP is probably a Firefox user. You know, one of the few remaining Firefox users around.
The comment says the GP doesn't "want to go through that yet again thanks to Electrolysis". So obvious the GP is acknowledging that the earlier problems no longer exist! And the GP is also acknowledging that he or she doesn't want to experience broken plugins again once Electrolysis is widespread, which indicates that the GP is still a Firefox user!
So how do you treat Firefox users? You mislabel them as "Google fanboys" and then totally ignore what they actually wrote. Pathetic. It's no wonder people are fleeing Firefox. The browser isn't very good at all, and the Firefox community treats its users like total crap.
