Massive performance regression in firefox

[asimov-solensan]

Guys has someone noticed this?

I'm not completely sure. But I think it is the upgrade I run a while ago.

Now even scrolling this forum is a pain. I used to watch youtube in fullscreen and now even at 360p is a slideshow.

At lest can someone confirm if it is only me?

No you are not alone the performance is horrid compared to older versions I've played with... sounds like @hns is making good progress on a bit of the OS and Kernel level fixes, so there likely may be a performance boost by fixing some of the issues in a future OS release.

Ok at least I know it will be fixed in another upgrade.

I'm personally using Vivaldi. The Raspberry Pi ARM version (comes as .deb) can easily be installed and works great

Reminds me that i have to install Vivaldi as far as i get Time ^^, Next weekend is a Marked where whe sell a bit Honey, and the Retro Convention in a Town, not far from my Place, (and i have to play around whit my new Ipad ^^)

I installed Vivaldi, and it performs MUCH better on my Pyra than Firefox-ESR did. I love Firefox, so I kind of hate to admit it...

Hi all,

Vivaldi is indeed faster than Firefox on the Pyra, thanks for the tip.
