Not only slowing down over time, but also crashing. I have noticed that
certain web sites cause this, one example is mlive.com, where just three
concurrent web pages loaded would bring a 4th gen I7 with nearly a 8000
CPUBenchmark rating down. Problems with Firefox have become so frequent
that I now rarely use it. I would appreciate feedback on why mlive.com
is such a problem. RJRiley

We shall stay with this Firefox ESR v52.1as long as seems sensible -
and then turn to an alternative to Firefox if the Firefox ESR at the
time is still as slow as, for example, Firefox ESR v52.6.0 (although
all these v52.6.0, v52.5.3, and v52.2.1 were also unacceptable slow
and require far too much memory c.f. Firefox ESR v52.1 )
Like many others it seems, we've experienced a slowing down of Firefox
ESR over time which recently has resulted in stupidly slow Firefox ESR
performance.
Initially we tried creating brand new profiles, which helped for a
(very short) period but slowed back to unacceptable levels within a
few days of (our) normal usage after re-adding back the 26 add-ons.
After reading comments on this list about reverting back to an earlier
version we tried this with Firefox ESR versions v52.6.0, v52.5.3, and
then v52.2.1 - all suffered the slow down after some normal usage
after a few days.
Immensely annoying and very, very time consuming to test, we tried
removing all add-ons which made a small difference but not for long,
we tried disabling safe browsing, and then zapping the SB files, again
some help but after a few days slowing back to treacle speeds again.
However, a glimmer of light for us began with a reversion to Firefox
ESR v52.1 which, even with our full complement of 26 add-ons and usual
extensions has maintained full performance for many days now.
I offer this missive aimed at two groups of folks:
(a) folks like myself needing a version of Firefox ESR that works
well and fast, and
(b) hopefully the Firefox developers can try and work out where
they've gone so badly wrong with more recent versions of Firefox ESR,
as reverting back to the near magical Firefox ESR v52.1 has
been a wonderful experience, reliable, fast, and usable again
- with many, many tabs (around 100) spread across 8-10
windows here, yet still a small memory footprint and I'll say it
again, great speed performance
- with ALL our add-ons running nicely too.
Please Firefox devs, sort out the newer Firefox ESR performance (speed
& memory especially) before we all leave Firefox as unworkable.
Cheers,
Happy Firefox ESR v52.1 users!
