I have long since left Firefox, and the recent ridiculous hype over V57 is nauseating..
Running on V52 I often (not intentionally) had 350 Tabs open and of course, it struggled, but I always had time to clean up and restore good operation.. On V57 it regularly crashes when I get beyond 60-70 and the response on this thread sums up the attitude of the 'Support' team. Do you actually have a Testing team??
