Firefox 33 slow?

[sammiev]

Well I used Forefox for many years now and the latest is not the greatest. My computer slowed to a new low today. Time to move on I guess.

Solved with FF43

Are you using 14.10 as is suggested by your user info in my forum's left hand pane?

FF 33 is working fine on my machines, old and new, 32 and 64 bit, so there must be something about your OS or machine or FF profile thaty is slowing things down.

I keep both Chromium and Firefox installed on my PC; normally I use Chromium but your post prompted me to use FF. I noted version was 33 and didn't notice any difference in speed.

Yes I'm using 14.10 and after the update today when I move up or down scrolling with the mouse it's rather very jerky. Never had that with FF32.

Using a fully Intel system with 8gib ram and a i5 with a SSD. Boot times are less than 15 seconds with gnome and less than 10 seconds with kde.

I'm not noticing any difference or slow downs with Google Chrome beta.

Have you tried a clean Firefox profile?

I just got the Firefox 33 update today in Ubuntu MATE' and it still seems to run as well as it always did. Don't really see much difference to tell you the truth.

Same here in Ubuntu 14.04 x64.

Tried a new profile and even a new install of FF after deleting the full folder of FF. It's is much slower with the page movements using the mouse but as quick as it was when I slide the bar up and down with the mouse.
