A very minor announcement:

Starting in tomorrow's nightly, we will no longer underline tab titles in
e10s. If you want to find out if a tab is remote, look at its tooltip. For
remote tabs it will be "<title> - e10s".

The "New e10s window" menu item is also going away. If you want an e10s
window, you need to set the e10s preference and restart. "New non-e10s
window" will still be around for testing.

Any reason the “New e10s window” is going away? Was quite useful to test a few things here and there, without having to fully enable e10s.

There are some bugs that only happen when opening a new e10s window from a
non-e10s browser (the worst is that the Java plugin doesn't work, and will
cause crashes, if you try to open it in an e10s window of a non-e10s
browser). 75% of our nightly population has e10s enabled and we're hoping
to enable it for another 19% when we fix some accessibility issues. So it
didn't seem worth keeping.
