Fwd: Stupidly Slow Firefox ESR (RJRiley.C) We have several thousand installs of ESR 52.6.0 and there has not been a report yet about slowdowns like your experiencing. The only add ons those installs have are the ones put in by the users. I do add that we are on Win 10 Enterprise, 64 bit, with 64 bit Firefox.

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.
