Anecdotally with Firefox on macOS, Gmail is by far the worst offender. Switching inboxes/labels takes several seconds in FF and is near instant in Chrome. Scrolling performance in FF is also much worse.
- nvrspyx 7y agoIn my opinion, macOS is definitely FF's weakest desktop platform. I've personally experienced terrible performance, out-of-place UI for the platform (e.g. default dropdowns), and just a generally less polished experience compared to Safari, Chrome, and Chromium derivatives. I still use it as my default browser on macOS though because it does excel in other areas.
- omnimus 7y agoInteresting i never had such problems. I do webdev and Safari seems to be always the worst. But i dont use gmail.
- duncanawoods 7y agoI have zero problems with FF MacOS. Might be something in your setup?
- 1_player 7y agoSame for me, I tried the latest Nightly a couple days ago to test the CoreAnimation work, and after 1 hour of use my Slack tab because so unbearably sluggish each keypress would take 1 second to render. No extensions, no GIFs, no heavy tabs open, perhaps one or two open tabs. No slowdowns at all after 8 hours on Slack w/ Safari or Brave. Firefox is definitely the worst browser on macOS, compared to the Windows version where it's absolutely perfect and always quick.
