Firefox 33 slow?

[monkeybrain20122]

FF33 is slow and it freezes randomly but only on 14.10, on 14.04 it is fast and never freezes. Both run on the same machine (different partitions) so I think it is a 14.10 issue. I posted a thread long ago.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...1#post13160821

I have noticed that that version of Firefox is pretty slow especially with video settings. When I was video chatting with my girlfriend and her friends it would repeatedly stop connection right when we got to some of the good parts of the conversation. It's pretty annoying when it boots u out right before. They really need to catch up with safari and google chrome in speed.

As I said I have these problems only in Ubuntu 14.10. Which version of Ubuntu do you use?

It's not slow for me,but it has had other strange glitches now and again.

Same here, Chromium is very fast, FF slow and sluggish. Manjaro-Linux is running on my other computer, with Firefox as fast as Chromium!

No solutions?

It has been upgraded to FF34. It seems better as I have not encountered any freeze yet, though I have not logged into Ubuntu 14.10 very much so I haven't done any thorough testing. As I said FF 33 and 34 are both very fast on Ubuntu 14.04 on the same machine (my 'real' work OS, 14.10 is just for testing)

FF34 fixed all my issues. This thread should be closed.

It was moved to the cafe. It can not be marked as solved using Thread Tools.

Good call. I've closed it for you.
