The speed is great as long as youtube doesn't autoplay a new video which freezes the whole browser for me until it is done loading.

- firebird84 10y agoFor what it's worth, you can turn off autoplay in about:config.
- akerro 10y agoWhole browser freezez for me on any amazon page. Just when it starts rendering it freezes everything inside Firefox window for a few seconds. It's so annoying that I'm considering dropping Firefox after over a decade for Opera or Brave browser.

- akerro 10y agoVery similar issue! My gf walked into it recently on ArchLinux, she had the same problem, for her e10 was enabled by default. When she visisted pons.com the whole browser was frozen for at least 10seconds, and if it didn't unfreeze itself after that time, it was just consuming memory and freezing whole OS until Linux killed Firefox process. My issue was solved by disabling e10s, for her it didn't help so she switched to Opera already.
- gnud 10y agoI wouldn't switch to Opera though. Use vivaldi instead.
- malnourish 10y agoHave you tried disabling the functionality in about:config?
- akerro 10y agoYes.
