Can’t say for sure—haven’t used modern Firefox without containers. Last time was years ago, pre-Quantum, so it wouldn’t be a fair comparison.
Compared to other browsers, if anyone’s interested:
There was no perceived performance hit after migrating 60+ tabs from Safari and Chrome to Firefox. Browser startup time is definitely faster. For now it seems I no longer have to think about the number of tabs I have open.
I usually have fewer than a dozen tabs in any given container. With Conex, tabs in other containers don’t seem to get loaded unless I switch to them (tabs not in current container are hidden).
