balajicson How Firefox Got Fast Again

Using 57 for few days, speed improvements are impressive.

But two things which is going to stop me from complete switch.

1. There is no native websocket inspector. websocket-monitor[0] add-on which supported websocket inspection is not compatible with quantum. Really wish they speed up native support development[1]

2. Double tap zoom really makes it easy to find UI issues. Really wish it get implemented in firefox too.
