Why is firefox still such a fucking slow piece of shit?

I feel like clawing my eyes out everytime I use it.

These tests were done on a Skylake Xeon, 16GB of RAM and a PCI-Express SSD. e10s enabled and dom.ipc.processCount set to 50. Now tell me Firefox isn't slow:

No one cares about your choice of browser, OP. Why are you so obsessed with what everyone else uses? If Chrome suits your needs, use Chrome. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use Firefox.

Firefox is a bloated piece of shit, but a lot of its issues are addressed by its numerous forks, which probably enjoy a lot more usage share than FF. I use Pale Moon because I need several FF-exclusive extensions that happen to be compatible with PM, and because PM removes much of FF's bloat.

Chrome absolutely does not suit my needs, therefore I do not use Chrome. I don't care if Chrome renders Web pages faster or even has a faster start-up time. That has nothing to do with my choice of Web browser.

Considering you feel the need to fling ad hominems at people based on their choice of software, why should anyone waste their time formulating a serious reply?

It is slow compared to Chrome, no fucking shit. Firefox runs on ~20 year old Gecko engine that is not optimized for multi-core processors, and that'll continue to be the case until they start rolling out Quantum by the end of next year.

Feel free to hand over your entire psychological profile to be put on a database for a small boost in speed, if it bothers you so much.

Brave has the worst fucking UI I've ever seen.

>firecocks is 4X slower than Chrome
Jesus christ, I knew it was slower but like 20-40% slower not 400% slower. Fuck. I'm actually impressed with how slow it is, must be a world record or something.

But he showed proof though. As a firefox user myself I am deeply concerned about the future of firefox. Maybe I really should jump ship...

You know that that's experimental as fuck right? Anything higher than 1 (soon 2) isn't even guaranteed to work.

I blame the SJW's for forcing the previous CEO to resign. The software has gone downhill since that exact point.

I dont know what I'm doing right or what you guys are doing wrong but I dont notice any performance issues with 49.0.2 64bit. I tried chrome and its a tad faster but its not very noticeable.

This. Once they started throwing shit like pocket and hello on their releases I just dropped it, I knew it was only going to get worse as time went by. But what OP has shown is ridiculous. Now I really hope they go bankrupt. In a perfect world a good third party company would buy them and make Firefox great again.

>>57517965
FF is generally faster than Chrome for me on desktop and quite a bit faster on Android. Assume this thread is full of Googles or PEBKAC posters.
