Re: What is going on with firefox



Sorry Bret now sent to the list

2 windows open that dont use the same profile: so when running in private mode I am not running as the same user logged on to the other instance(window).
so I am not logged into youtube when surfing in private mode but in normal mode (eg the other window) I am signed into youtube.

I am pretty sure this was possible in the past and that is what happens in chromium

So my system has almost 0 cpu usage when browsing and my old computer i3 4 cpu 32GB or even 16GB ram worked fine (really snappy) probably with an older version of debian stable. My current system only uses an up to date debian stable and firefox from debian stable (probably security updates).  Now its possible something to do with ublockorigin but the two sites that show a slowdown are youtube and another piece of software called dxtrade (I think i disabled ublock on dxtrade).  Everything seems to start off fine but the longer the windows are open or more windows are open the youtube tabs or dxtrade just seem to freeze.  I am pretty sure its not a internet speed issue because i am not using high res video or running 4 videos at once.  And of course I switch to chromium and everything is perfect.

Anyway very strange

Thanks Dan

Can you give a specific example of a situation when the browser is
slow? Which exact version of Firefox are you running which is "so
slow"?

How exactly do you try to "have 2 separate instances", and what
exactly happens when you do try?

Probably not many of those on the debian-user mailing list; and even
if there are, a post to an unrelated mailing list is not the way to
file bug reports with any project, let alone a major one like Firefox.
