How did Firefox get so slow? Not even memeing here, I've been a Firefox user since Firefox 1.5.

But Firefox with no addons but uBlock, absolutely chokes on large websites where Chromium with no addons but uBlock is perfectly fine.

Is Mozilla even trying to compete in speed?

Mine works just fine. The difference might be the OS, as I have noticed. I left for Loonix many years ago, and Firefox runs pretty good on it.

I've found that recently Firefox freezes when I try to scroll on a page that hasn't fully loaded yet.
I've also found that sometimes my scrolling can be really laggy, like it isn't at 60Hz, which can be fixed by dragging the window around.

holy shit! on a fresh install! also videos aren't really in high definition! I should sue Mozilla for fake advertisement, providing bad software, and should get a compensation in return. depends of how much Mr. Goldberg my lawyer will obtain. A shame!

oh also, that keyboard is good and comfy. mhrrr... I think i'm gonna greentext on /mlp/ with it tonight.

of course, it is scrolling much better with compiz turned off, without gnome3 or any forms of rice that awaits me as soon this thing decides to apply the updates and becomes unusable.

but damn, mozilla ruined my life.

is that the trips season or the kiton season? i wonder-

imagine if I had epillepsy? i could just roll on the floor, have a seizure after scrolling on a page in firefox. that would be dramatic. i would be standing on the floor, rolling and drooling, convulsing with my brain melting, and my poor cat watching me exactly with that expression.
except now she's 6yo and she's used to this kind of shit. well, just ignore me because i'm not epileptic, but as we speak many people are dying, right now because of Mozilla's horrible software that kills people, and expose their powerless cats to the slow agony of their masters.

so, should we start a fundraiser to help me sue Mozilla and make things change, for happy kittens? it's important. lagging is a serious issue from the browser that claims to be the fastest, and being actually in a situation of monopoly in matters of commonsense, this is just scandalous!

>tfw would switch to Chrome from Firefox if Chrome mobile synced history correctly and allowed for bookmark shortcuts

I mean seriously. All I really care about are bookmark shortcuts but Chrome mobile doesn't support them. Firefox mobile does. Been on Firefox since 1.5 but feels bad to look around at other browsers ;_;

Menu, options, advanced, check smooth scrolling.

If it's already checked, uncheck it, close and open browser, check it, close and open.

Only other thing to check is hardware acceleration.

I use the addons in pic related and I've got no issues with speed or scrolling. With the amount of tabs I've usually got open, Firefox is twoce as fast as Chrome.
