[SOLVED] Firefox ver. 87 on current64 work slowly ?

gildbg · 03-24-2021, 01:54 AM

Hello,

today I update my firefox to ver. 87. I use current -64 tree. I have the feeling that it works more slowly. I try to remove addons but no effect. Did some one have the same problem ?

Hi,
I also have the same feeling.

Maybe you people need to post also the output of "inxi -F -m -z" ?

I think that could be something about the graphics drivers. OR, The Blob hits again.

On the box with specs as following, the Firefox 87.0 looks working fine.

I don't use swap. Maybe the new firefox is forced to use swap when it is available.

igadoter · 03-24-2021, 05:46 AM

Just update kernel to 5.11 - people who don't have troubles all run 5.11.

cwizardone · 03-24-2021, 06:38 AM

FWIW, just installed the latest Firefox for -current (using the 5.11.y kernel) and it is running just fine.
