Please don't copy Chrome's poor Windows UI with hamburger menu on the Mac, and why are tab themes buried in TOOLBAR customization?
1. There are already very accessible main menus on the Mac so no need to put a hamburger menu in the browser window with a different organization. It's just confusing. And that hamburger menu is really frustrating on Chrome anyway because it adds an extra level of navigation versus having multiple top-level menus like all applications have.
2. And I had to google and go to Firefox's forums to find out how to get rid of the new black tabs (why is that the default?) because the tab theme isn't in the standard preferences. If for some reason this setting MUST be in with the toolbar button selection, please add a link from main preferences to go there.
3. Continuing background CPU consumption has always been Firefox's weak point on laptops, so this is the main reason I upgraded. It seems better so far, but still far worse than Safari. I wish FF would research in Safari's open source how they manage threads for web content when nobody is viewing it (hidden tab or whole app hidden) and implement the same. Hint - they probably suspend their execution. :-)

Hi, Sorry Firefox Volunteer Support can do nothing with your suggestions.

You can review release history here and see changes made in each version: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/
You can try this for # 3 : You could try this please : Go the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.
As for Safari : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1623007/is-the-safari-web-browser-an-open-source-project only the Web-Kit is open Source.

For #2 : Black Theme is not the default but can sometimes end up being so in a install that did not go right. There is a reason to why it is where it is and that is it is a Customization. Which all these can do also in 235 million ways : USSER CHROME URL'S

Note not all code in one place.
For # 1 I would think that since Firefox is on so many different devices now that that is the reason for the Hamburger Menu. As well you do not need to use it as you can still turn on the Firefox Menu and the Firefox Toolbar with a Right Click at any empty page top. Though the Hamburger Menu is the only way to Customization where you can drag icons out for faster access on many devices.
As mentioned please feel free to leave your comments and ideas :

Thanks much for this info, especially about the settings that might reduce background CPU consumption. By the way, I *did* think this was the correct place to give feedback, I came from the link under “How can we make Firefox better - tell us more” link here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/feedback/ It did seem strange that it started asking me to go through a menu of “what was your problem” and I should have realized it was not right after all, so sorry about that.
