I switched to Firefox because Chrome was keeping my fan always busy (high CPU usage and temperature) and using too much RAM. It was always around 5GB for my common usage. In Firefox it's always around 2.7GB. There were some privacy concerns too. Having said that, Firefox also has its issues. It is so unresponsive sometimes, giving long hangs. That's the main problem to me. There are others, like it being slower in some pages and some of its extensions UI give me a pre-web 2.0 vibe or look abandoned. (But its Mendeley importer extension is way better than Chrome's).

Check about:support. Are Multiprocess Windows and Asynchronous Pan/Zoom enabled?

  They are disabled: Multiprocess Windows 0/1 (Disabled by add-ons) Asynchronous Pan/Zoom none How can I enable them? EDIT: I tried toggling browser.tabs.remote.autostart to true in about:config, but it still gives the same message. Looking into it now. EDIT2: I did it! Multiprocess Windows 1/1 (Enabled by user) Asynchronous Pan/Zoom wheel input enabled Besides disabling all my extensions (except for uBlock) I had to disable Ubuntu Modifications. EDIT3: Wow!! This is so much better! I didn't know project Electrolysis was already out. Thanks!
