- smcleod 4y agoThat's not really the car with Firefox in my experience that is an issue that's common to chrome (and as such electron etc...). I haven't refreshed my Firefox in probably 5+ years and it's very snappy despite me having a lot of extensions installed.
- timvisee 4y agoThere does seem to be some internal limit to the history size though. My installation is also more than 5 years old, but I can't browse back more than ~6 months. This helps with performance for sure.
- markx2 4y agoI have used FF for many many years and the way to keep it fast is, on exit, to delete all data.
- rsolva 4y agoI have not experienced a noticable slow down over the last ten years of using Firefox, even on modest hardware from from the early 2010's. That said, this year I enabled clearing the browsing history and cache every time I close Firefox, which keeps my address bar clutter free and hyper responsive. Searching trough my bookmarks is instant! It keeps the browser lean and clean.
- namrog84 4y agoCan someone elaborate on what it means to refresh a browser in this context? Update it? Clear cache?
- prirai 4y agoYeah, cache, history, cookies and other storages. In firefox you can simply delete the profile and make a new one.
