Yeah I am missing this as well. I switched to Firefox a few days ago after hearing about all the improvements.

So far, three issues:

1- On my MBP, I am having serious issues when I have tabs to recover.

2- HTML5 videos are not hardware accelerated. Neither on OSX, nor on my Arch.

3- Cannot move multiple tabs from one window to another but that actually seems to work better with i3's drag and drop.

About acceleration - dunno about macOS, but on GNU/Linux there's lots of low-hanging fruits to get by tweaking a few entries in about:config. Check out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox/Tweaks
