> The new Firefox for Android that launched in August loads pages 20 percent faster than at the start of the year making it the fastest Firefox browser ever on Android.<p>But messes up video experience when going full screen, dropped support for almost all extensions without warning, sometimes I have to restart the app because it freezes, header sometimes doesn't show up when scrolling up and ux is not quite there yet.<p>I had to downgrade the android app version and don't even get me started on my experience with Firefox on Ubuntu (random crashes, sometimes I can't close tabs or open them, I keep hearing audio from a tab I already closed and some more).<p>I really love the product and I hope the Firefox teams makes it better.<p>Sorry for the rant.
I recently became a developer for a terrible no good platform that I shouldn’t name (ServiceNow). It’s bad in ways you can’t even understand unless you develop for it. I want to use Firefox for all kinds of reasons, only problem is chromium is an order of magnitude faster working with their shitty javascript. I truly wish it was not so, but if I want to go home to my family as soon as possible, it’a chrome/edge. FF introduces too much lag.
I’ve found that firefox has become quite slow on X11 on linux, can anyone suggest some fixes? Can’t switch to wayland because of nvidia.<p>On windows it’s solid however!<p>Edit: just saw this in the release notes for 84: “ Additionally we'll ship an accelerated rendering pipeline for Linux/GNOME/X11 users for the first time, ever!”<p>Fingers crossed, gonna check it right away!
I didn't experience faster Firefox on: high end desktop, laptop, mobile. UI changed, promotion of features like Pocket that I don't use. But not performance. Chromium is still faster in everything sadly.
