Comment on Former Mozilla exec: Google has sabotaged Firefox for years (2019)parent

Comments

Firefox has been fairly meh for me performance-wise, and tends to absorb memory over time. I kinda expected that with a few hundred tabs open.

What I didn't expect was how sluggish Firefox (119.0.1) would become on a brand new machine with around 20 tabs open. By the time I restarted it today, switching to Firefox and acquiring focus took about 2 seconds. I've a grand total of 3 plugins (FB Container, Multi-Account Container, uBlock Origin) installed.
