TB is still the best client out there bar none. 2021 is going to be a great year for TB and Mozilla in general. I can personally attest to the HUGE amount of improvement I've seen in the latest betas I've been playing with. 78 has had a lot of growing pains and AddOn authors are still playing catch up. I can say with certainty that TB is not only alive and well but getting loads of fixing for the upcoming ESR release. This year's culling of workforce at Mozilla made me worried too. A few years ago when Mozilla anounced TB was no longer going to be developed and put on life support, it was a tragic bit of news. It's paid off with both performance improvements and useability improvements that were long overdue. But, the Mozilla folks have enlisted a whole slew of new folks to address ancient bugs and beat the cruft out of TB.
Sadly, TB 78 ESR is still stuck on LLVM 9.0.1 and Rust 1.43. The switch to LLVM 11/Rust 1.47 has made FF an order of magnitude faster.
