I have really tried to love the new Firefox builds on desktop due to the containers.
The performance is not stellar on OS X and plugin support is tiny by comparison so I find myself drifting back to Chrome.
- jmisavage 7y agoFirefox 70 is suppose to have a big performance boost on Mac.
- DCKing 7y agoFirefox 70 will use Core Animation on Macs for graphics rendering, just like Chrome and Safari. This will vastly improve low energy consumption/battery life, but I haven't heard anything about general UI performance? Anyway, it's supposed to be out next week [1] :) [1]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar
- senko 7y agoI'm on Firefox Nightly, and performance has been noticably better in the past several months. Previously Firefox was barely usable for anything with animation on OSX. They've been making steady (if slow) progress for the past year or so, now it's subjectively on-par with Chrome and Safari for me.
- trophycase 7y agoDoes this mean that watching video via firefox on OSX will no longer make my machine heat like crazy?
- tick_tock_tick 7y agoFirefox performance has been a joke on mac for years with "fixes" supposedly happening every few months but it's still horrible. I'll believe it when I see it.
- krzyk 7y ago> The performance is not stellar on OS X and plugin support is tiny by comparison so I find myself drifting back to Chrome. Are you saying that Firefox has less addons than Safari? Is that even possible with the restrictions on Safari browser (ads blocking)?
- saagarjha 7y agoI’m assuming that they’re comparing Firefox to Chrome.
