"New Firefox"


          

Anyone else noticing a slowdown in the new Firefox. It is doggedly slow. Even Edge is faster!

Yeah, I've been running Firefox 57 (64-bit) for over a week now and find it a lot slower than 56 (64-bit). It is supposed to be a lot faster as well.

Each time I start Firefox I kick off between 7 and 10 tabs by middle-clicking a bookmark folder. It now seems to take ages until any of the tabs finish loading. It never used to take this long. I'll see if your suggestion makes any difference, thanks.

EDIT:
Didn't make any noticeable difference, alas.
FWIW: PaleMoon is like lightning in comparison.
Also IE based browsers are a lot faster.
