AFAICT, it's still very common for someone with a "slow firefox" issue to be told to nuke their user profile.
- Anthony-G 9y agoI recently heard of user profile resets being touted as a solution to various issues. I found it interesting because I’ve been using the same set of user profiles for the past 10 years without issue. Perhaps it’s a solution for problems caused by too many installed add-ons (that may conflict with each other). I’m fairly conservative about what add-ons I install and don’t have more than 10 installed at any one time.
