In particular, even longtime users are reporting that more and more mainstream websites, such as Instagram, Salesforce, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp Web, either fail to load or function poorly in recent Firefox releases. In particular, Firefox seems to be having more trouble than ever rendering JavaScript- heavy sites. Like it or not, many popular sites live and die with JavaScript these days. Users have observed that Firefox is slower than competitors like Chrome. Some people are reporting that the browser is running up to 30 percent slower. Issues such as high idle memory usage (24 GB with a single tab open), frequent freezes when restoring from a minimized state, and unexplained crashes have become common complaints, even on high- end hardware.
