    Moved off Firefox this month. I was die hard Firefox user for decades. All the way back to Netscape and the original Mozilla browser with the t-Rex logo.

    I tried using zen and librewolf but they both suffered the same problem. Dogshit engine.

      May I ask what your config was, such as distro, packaging format, and extensions were used? Also, what hardware?

      Additionally, what issues specifically were you experiencing specifically? Were sites just loading slowly?

      I ask because I’ve used recent versions Firefox on decently old hardware with 4 GB of RAM and 2 cores and had almost no problems. Everything rendered correctly and in a reasonable amount of time. I’d be curious to know why that isn’t happening for you.

        It’s not that it renders incorrectly so much as abysmal performance. Choppy scrolling, page elements taking a long time to load, etc.

        I did a bit of distro hopping lately so it was on a few distros mainly arch and Fedora base.

        Also experienced this in windows 10 and 11.
