You want a browser that does not crash but you are on the beta channel? LOL

 

Granted when I used to be on the Firefox beta channel it was rock solid but Firefox in general has been rock solid since stopped installing Flash a year ago.

I got on The Beta as the stable 47.0.1 was worse. This one is good. I have flash set to ask to activate and I do not have Java installed.

Well that is the thing with beta channels... The next one may not be so good.

The next one will be RC1 so it should be better.

Oh, I didn't know Firefox is discontinuing future development so there will be no more beta releases. That sucks... /s

No kidding but there is always another beta release when on the beta channel which in this case would be the first beta for version 49.

Do you guys see quite often the white spinning loading page while changing between tabs with e10s? Using the 48 version, the stable one.

[+Gary7 Subscriber²]

I do not use e10s. I am now using Firefox 49 Beta 3 and it seems to be more stable than Fx 47.

For me is stable but changing between  tabs seems slower than the "normal" version.

If you use any extensions try temporarily disabling them all and see if that makes any difference. Some addons use compatibility shims with e10s which can significantly impact performance (even potentially making it worse than without e10s). You can also go to about:performance for addon performance statistics

I'll try that thanks

 

EDIT: After a few tests I think it was the Ghostery addon.

I use Tab Mix Plus and never tried Ghostery.  But I can switch tabs just as fast as in Fx 47.

No problems with e10s here.

Yeah that sounds like the cuplrit, according to http://arewee10syet.com/ ghostery has pretty high CPOW (compatibility shim) usage

thats why you have Addons etc , if you want the Classic look back, there is an Addon for that, but why do you care? you do use Chrome/Chromium afaik , but get used to it, there not gonna change it.  as long as it works on websites i visit thats all i care about really. , but no ones stopping you from Forking the Browser an doing your own thing . or use Pale Moon . does Pale Moon use Australis? no idea

[Konstantine]

Imo the Australis UI is very beautiful. Way more beautiful compared to the one Firefox had before as well as Chrome's one. Out of all the browsers actually(Opera, Edge etc), I find Australis the most beautiful. I love not only the curved tabs but the toolbar as well. The only thing I don't like is the addons page - something feels out of place. I don't know if it's the sidebar inside the addons page or something else. Oh well, who cares though about the addons page?
