Restoring a session or restarting Firefox with many tabs open is now an order of magnitude faster. For reasons unknown, Dietrich Ayala has a Firefox profile with 1,691 open tabs. With Firefox 54, starting up his instance of Firefox took 300 seconds and 2 GB of memory. Today, with Firefox 55, it takes just 15 seconds and 0.5 GB of memory. Users can now adjust Firefox’s number of content processes from within Preferences.This improvement is primarily thanks to the tireless work of an external contributor, Kevin Jones, who virtually eliminated the fixed costs associated with restoring tabs. Firefox now uses its built-in Tracking Protection lists to identify and throttle tracking scripts running in background pages.Multiple content processes debuted in Firefox 54, and allow Firefox to take better advantage of modern, multi-core CPUs, while still being respectful of RAM utilization. After a short grace period, Firefox will increase the minimum setInterval or setTimeout for callbacks scheduled by tracking scripts to 10 seconds while the tab is in the background. This is in addition to our usual 1 second throttling for background tabs, and helps ensure that unused tabs can’t invisibly ruin performance or battery life.

You can read more in my article on IntersectionObserver from last week. SharedArrayBuffer and Atomics objects are new JavaScript primitives that allow workers to share and simultaneously access the same memory.See the Pen Hello IntersectionObserver by Dan Callahan on CodePen. This finally makes efficient multi-threading a reality on the Web. The only downside? Developers have to care about thread safety, mutexes, etc. when sharing memory, just like in any other multi-threaded language.
