Why does Firefox run so fucking poorly?
>>
Works fine on my computer.
>>
Works on my machine, just playing a 4k movie while browsing

omg it's the cute reddit frog :3

They fired all the actual programmers several years ago although their shitty ancient engine was holding them back for at least a decade before that.

Firefox requires a GPU with support for OpenGL 3.2 or newer or GLES 3.0 or newer to enable hardware acceleration.
What kind of hardware do you use and which operating system?
>>
>>107010169
uninstall the 30 useless browser extensions and you'll be good.

>>107010271
gayyyyy
>>107010215
idk man

it seems like modern web standards are just too much of a clusterfuck in general, but also firefox is particularly slow compared to something like falkon
>>
>>107010297
It appears you forgot to include your hardware specifications and operating system.
Let's try that again, shall we?

that has nothing to do with this
>>
>>107010315
Your hardware failing to meet the minimum requirements of the software in question has nothing to do with this. Alright, suit yourself.
>>
>>107010325
you could just SAY your bloated garbage text editor requires 128gb of ram and a threadripper, that doesn't excuse poor software
i gave another web browser (which is also slow) which is faster than firefox
>>
>>107010328
Which OpemGL or ES version does your GPU support? It's a simple question, I'm not asking for the serial number of your case power supply fan.
>>
>>107010343
i don't know
>>
you remind me of this one highschool friend lol
he owns a house & has his sisters ex renting from him, and he has a decent job
i'm still a neet
>>
i dunno what's with this bog/mire
i just wanna know why firefox is slower than other browsers, if anyone knows
>>
>>107010347
Let's start with your Operating System. Windows, Linux, Android, BSD?
>>107010357
Chromium browsers have lower hardware requirements.
>>
>>107010369
>Chromium browsers have lower hardware requirements.
but why.....,,,,,,,,,,,
>>
>>107010374
Let's just get to the bottom of this. Which GPU are you using to run these programs?

It goes through phases of eating memory like it's eating a hot asian gym whore's ass.

>>107010246
idk why the cpu clock is reported at that rate
>>
>>107010169
chrome was always snappier but ff is ok too
get to edit the css to make it look however tf you want, that makes it a keeper for me
>>
>>107010396
check these preferences https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/refs/heads/main/Fastfox.js

>>107010405
Maybe you are running firefox in an xwayland window instead of raw wayland
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox
>>
>>107010169
Idk, sometimes it really runs like shit, but this is because of google and the fucking chrome monopoly, almost every fucking browser is chromium based, google owns chrome and they even intentionally slowed down services for non chromium browsers (proven) and then they hit you with a notification "Hey you should use chrome". It's so fucking over, even M$ Edge is chromium, brave, opera and now fucking open ai's atlas browser as well... and all those fucking webservices expect you to have chromium. I use Brave, but I will always support furryfox, because it's realistically the only true option, but the mozilla foundation is so fucking retarted, they have shit defaults nowdays and they live off google donations... no wonder that google is the default search engine. But yea, try Zen or Librewolf, don't let Furryfox die. Even Tor is based on it........

stop saying that!!!
>>
>>107010495
Why would I? Both of those are great products. I could never enjoy the legendary 750ti but I did have a C2Q OC to 4 GHz or something
Something is definitely wrong with your configuration, a 750ti should have no issue running firefox considering it runs on sandy bridge integrated graphics.
>>
>>107010507
Yeah, you're not wrong. It's using Wayland for sure. Maybe "running poorly" isn't the right way to describe Firefox but after using Chrome, I just noticed how much snappier it is. Anyway, I still do like Firefox.
>>
>>107010577
I'm using a much weaker system than you right now and firefox feels fine. I will try chromium see if it feels faster.
