I am running a popular website. In 2008, Firefox made up for over 80% of my users. Then Chrome came along, using all cpus and cores of the computer it runs on. A huge performance advantage. Firefox usage started to decline. Year after year, they added features, branding, etc. Never addressed the performance issue. Now Firefox is used by less then 10% of my users. And even with E10s, Firefox uses only one core for all scripts in all tabs. It even gets completely clogged up if there is one slow script in some tab.

I would love to know how the roadmap is decided on over at Mozilla. Everybody I talk to says "Nah, it's slow. I use Chrome". Yet they did never address it. Why?
