They just seem to be not very good at it, because from 40 -> 50 - memory usage is much worse than previous versions (Yes, I know switching to the MP model has to do with it, but if your architectural changes hurt usability for security I consider that quite poor), the developer tools are still trash, and performance is still worse than chrome.

I quite like the Firefox devtools, but you may be happy to know that brand-new, rewritten devtools are currently coming down the pipeline.

There's also WebReplay, a time-traveling debugger for JS and the rest of the browser, which is a bit longer off but is absolutely amazing (I've seen a demonstration): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/We...

Since you consider that "quite poor", can you share your proposed method for doing multiprocess without regressing memory usage?
