That's gotta be a plugin, mate. I have the reverse problem: Chrome is slow, but Firefox is snappy. I know in the last few months FF fixed an issue where css cache was per-tab, which meant plug ins (like adblock plus) which add huge stylesheets to every tab had a huge memory load.
The only slowness I get with ff is when I have lots of heavy js tabs open for more than a day. In my case that's gInbox, gcal, ghangouts, trello (with heavy plugins), Facebook, and then my normal browsing tabs. Even then, I only notice the slowness when I instantiate a new window.
- sp332 11y agoI haven't been rigorous about testing it, but I think Inbox messes with mine too. Firefox will eat an entire CPU core for multiple seconds every time I click in any text box, or close a tab, or load a new tab in the background. It's the main process that uses CPU, not the content process. This is on Win7, and my only add-ons are uBlock Origin, Ghostery, LastPass, HTTPS Everywhere.
