Latest update is unbearable.... slow and freezes everything

[MNEL]

I'm just astonished that year after year people have asked Firefox to be fixed from gobbling memory, power, and CPU - and here we are, a decade later, and nothing has been done about it. 

The latest update makes Firefox nearly unusable. It takes so long for a page to load, it uses way too many resources even for a handful of tabs. The browser is getting worse, not better. 

WHEN are these issues going to be fixed???

Please create a performance profile using https://profiler.firefox.com/ with Firefox started in Troubleshoot Mode, then post the link in a bug report with steps to reproduce.  Thanks.

Try  "Waterfox" which is a fork of Firefox, all the plug ins and extensions work, but it's a bit tighter in security "out of the box" and uses stuff all resources in comparison.
