Well, looking at the WiKi (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Roadmap) for this it seems it is nowhere near being ready for prime time and certainly not something Fedora releases. What I was addressing in my earlier response was my current experience with FF in its present form as released by Fedora sans any extensions. Personally I'm not looking for how future improvements may help since I don't expect I'll switching back to using it. :-) :-) -- If I wanted a blog or social media I'd go elsewhere -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
