Where did firefox go so wrong?
Half a year ago it was a lot faster, but now it freezes and laggs when I start a youtube video.
What the fuck were the devs doing?
No, I am not going to install botnet shit like chrome.
>>51912962
>not using opera
>>51912974
>using a chrome skin
lmao
>>51912974

SJWs can't code
sjw and retards thinking their feels count more than their product
People have been complained about Firefox being slow and bloated for many years, but I've never witnessed anything like that. I tried Chrome for a while, but it wasn't faster at all.
I presume this is a real problem, but only for those with 512 MB RAM and a Pentium 4?
>MUH SJW
Fuck me, you guys sound autistic as fuck
God forbid some people try and make development more inclusive for all
>>51913034
I don't think the problem is on the hardware side.
I don't care about sjws, botnet or Skynet, should I use chrome or Firefox?
>>51913061
Yeah, same
The latest 64 bit Nightlies with e10 are promising though

open 5 tabs containing 5 websites with heavy media content on them. quickly switch between the tabs using your mouse. do this with both firefox and chrome and notice the lag in firefox
>>51913049
The word you're looking for is "moron." Normies are moronic, not autistic.
>>51913095
I decided to try the 36.0.4 version and disable updates.
Wake me up when it is usable again.
>>51913118

Just to name 1 thing. Mozilla has been doing EVERYTHING wrong lately, making one bad decision after another, feeding us lie after lie, stalling actual technical progress forever and ever while hiding it with fancy marketing sweettalk bullshit, etc.
Mozilla is nothing but a vain shell of what it once was now.
Vivaldi masterrace. I've just finished porting all my addons (I made a few myself) to chrome extensions and as soon as I can import my passwords from firefox to vivaldi I'm uninstalling shitfox forever. They've antagonized power users and taken idiotic normies' side once too often for me.
firefox 46 is currently faster than all the latest chromium forks
>>51913300

>>51912962
I installed Firefox 46 the other night, pressed ctrl+shift+e, no grouped tabs. Wtf, am I doing something wrong or did they remove that feature?
I've been using Edge in the meanwhile, it's fast and low on resources.

I don't understand the X browser is slow Y browser is faster meme. I've never had a browser run slow after Windows 95. Back then it didn't matter because I had a 56k modem that couldn't go any faster anyway. My pentium 4 could run multiple tabs in IE or FF with a couple youtube tabs thrown without a problem.
I think the only time I noticed my browser running slow was when I was running 8 instances of habbo hotel and closing the pool single handedly.
Now days I can't tell the difference between IE FF or Chrome as far as speed goes. I use FF because I'm used to the UI. I use IE when a website is designed so you can't use FF.

Yep, you've just confirmed you're not a programmer or in any way fit for a technical workplace since you don't even realize master/slave is technical jargon when not talking about people.

seriously, why is scrolling so shit in firefox?

That only happens when you have low ram or processing power. And by low I mean less than 8GB and less than a C2Q.
>>51914353
Edge's scrolling isn't that bad. Is there a way to get extensions working with it before it goes public?
>>51914410
Nope, searched for it.
>>51914406
That is not true, running the dev edition on my C2D. Scrolling is supersmooth
>>51914406
4790k 16GB ram, nvidia meme. still lags even on simple text pages. I'm not hating for the lulz, I have been using fx since version 3, scrolling DID became smoother, it's just randomly jerky which is most frustrating. Yes, I did tried differnt drivers, hell I even clean installed windows. nothing. them I google it and turned out it's under unresolved bugs from 2011
firefox 3.4 was the last good version, it has been laggy as fuck since 4.0
>>51914439
Spotted the paid shill!
>>51914029

Fucking why even. It's like taking an already shit program and then neutering it further.
>>51914473
*forgot to add that CPU is at fixed 4.4 on all cores, power states disabled GPU is set to max performance aka always highest clock
>>51914523
maybe I will. waterfox was shit though, chromium has awful blurry text rendering and is kinda clunky. At this point I fell like it's not a good idea to use something with small userbase as even main firefox has tons of problems
>>51914555
$0.02 were deposited into your account.
Do this makes FF snappy as fuck
browser.tabs.remote.autostart true
layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled true
layers.offmainthreadcomposition.testing.enabled true
>>51914666
e10s is enabled, async-pan-zoom is still buggy as hell if I remember correctly
>>51914666
The last one requires additional changes (MOZILLA_OMTC = 1 in bashrc or something like that, plus a restart to update the environment) to work on GNU. It's also very buggy and can lockup the entire browser at times.
Really, just use a version of Firefox with E10s. Your problems'll pretty much fly out of the window.
>>51912962
Firefox became shitty since Chrome release. I still don't get why they keep this horrible engine and don't create a new one.
That being said, I just installed the Nightly here and it's working much better than my previous attempt to come back. I'll give it a chance for now.
>>51913300
I have a machine with 2 gigs and a 1:8 GHz C2D that works perfectly fine for light browsing/office with win 8.1 and the latest Firefox
But I used that machine for pretty heavy browsing with FF18 and win 7, it worked perfectly fine until around FF 30
What about cyberfox?

I don't give a fuck about their politics, nor yours. I do care about browsing the web, and I Firefox is my prefered browser. They are doing something that benefits me. What use are you to me?
>>51913072
Don't use Chrome period, use Chromium. That said I like it and Firefox both, but prefer Firefox a little more. Mainly I use Chromium on OpenBSD, because in my experience it's version of Firefox is unstable and acts retarded.
For Linux at least (with the compatibility layer I believe it works on FreeBSD too), Chromium does have a better, more up to date version of Flash available, if that's important to you for some reason. However Google like everyone else is fed up with Adobe's bullshit, so Pepper-Flash is no longer being updated or maintained.

>using proprietary software
>>>/out/
>>51913146
Well whenever I call some dipshit on here an autist, I usually don't think they are actually autistic. Same with 'retard' and 'faggot'. I wouldn't treat someone who was actually retarded or autistic like that, and I don't have a problem with gay people, or think that it is something they should be ashamed of. Usually I wouldn't call a gay person a faggot (because pointing out that an openly gay person is gay, as an insult is fucking retarded), unless they are actually acting like some kind of retarded faggit OP nigger, and then it's fair game.

>>51915307
Their politics matter when they force out skilled developers because of their personal views which have nothing to do with their job

Firefox is no more (or less, admittedly) a botnet now than it was a half year ago or one year ago for that matter.
But it's still open source, and anything you find questionable can be disabled easily.

>>51920350
Firefox has had telemetry for years. And like then, you can still disable it.
Same goes for all the other stuff you listed.
And you also mistakenly list Pocket and DRM Support (being able to watch Netflix and stuff) as something objectively bad.
You have to realize Firefox has other users than the autists on /g/. People actually WANT to be able to watch Netflix.
Browsers are ever-evolving and will eventually add something you don't like/want.
But the difference is Firefox lets you disable everything. Due to its open source nature and community there's always an easy fix.
