"The problem is bad enough that a future version of Firefox will even have a feature dedicated to letting you know which of your add-ons is slowing you down."

Does anyone know this feature of Firefox?



It's in Nightly. I've seen it a few times. It appears as a bar across the bottom of your screen telling you x addon may be causing this page to load slowly. From there you have the option to disable the addon, ignore the message, or ignore permanently. I saw it for uBlock, HTTPSEverywhere, and reddit enhancement suite, and amazonsmile redirect. In each scenario I felt it was well worth the tradeoff to run a little more slowly.


Worth noting that it's set to be hypersensitive right now for testing. Don't trust it for much of anything yet.


Good to know, I was starting to think either noscript/ublock were badly written, badly integrated or that Firefox had deep issues.



It's in current nightly builds. You get a status bar telling you that such add-on is taking to long when you load a page.
