From your blog post: > Heavy activity in background tabs badly affects desktop Firefox’s scrolling performance1 (much worse than other browsers — we need E10S)
I was under the impression that because e10s is only a single process for all content (at least right now) a background tab can still negatively affect the foreground tab. Have we ever considered building something like the unload tab addon into the platform or Firefox directly? I know we do some throttling of timeouts, but perhaps we should also consider this heavier handed approach when there are many tabs open. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unloadtab/ """ An essential add-on for power users that have many tabs open. Curb your resource usage by unloading tabs that you haven't visited for a while. An unloaded tab is restored back to its original state when you need it again.
