I ran your box benchmark at 1000 boxes and all browsers were able to sustain 60fps quite easily on my system. Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, Safari and Opera on OSX

I guess the difference between Windows, Linux and OSX builds come with their own special quirks that break it for a percentage of people. Have you given the Developers edition of Firefox a go? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US&#

Yah and that's why I included 3 very real world heavy benchmarks that run random multiple real world usage patterns for extended periods of time. An those were the benchmarks that Firefox pulled a head of the pack by a large margin. Th

But when they roll out their Servo Renderer late this year everyone will be singing a different tune. Firefox is already faster then Chrome with the Electrolysis update, but Servo is rendering completely on the GPU. I just tested the the de

in about:support is your GPU composting enabled under graphics? I would recommend to refresh Firefox on that screen as well. Also you can check "about:performance" to see which extension is fucking you over. I would recommend usin

If your a power tab user, then Firefox is the only browser that can keep up with the 80 or so tabs I always have running, other browsers will will halt to a crawl if I attempted that, either immediately or within a couple days. Firefox allo

I'm betting it's your addon's/extensions/plugins causing the problem. A bad extension can bring Firefox down to it's knee's just like anything else programmed by Auntie Thelma. Download Firefox 51.0.1 then

Also if you want to get to the root of the problem, when you install Firefox 51.0.1 in the URL bar type "about:support" It will list HW acceleration info. You want to make sure electrolysis is running, in the line "Multiproce

> it is impossible to recommend Firefox in any case, because it performs so poorly compared to Chrome ... See that's some odd misinformation that's been spread around since Chrome first was released, it was the fastest browser

Linux is another beast, on my Ubuntu box Firefox gives similar performance to OSX. But on my Debian stable box Chromium plays a lot better with it and the Firefox build feels like it has a gremlin in it haha.

> I just couldn't justify slower speeds and much poorer performance overall anymore... once Mozilla kills off XPCOM and XUL-based addons, there won't be any real reasons left to use Firefox. Well now you don't have to, Fir

You are correct with your experiences, Firefox and Safari are now quite quick compared to Chrome, sometimes 3x as fast. If you are on a Macbook using battery power I highly suggest using Safari due to it's power consumption profile, yo

You really should use Firefox if you are a heavy WebGL user, Firefox is 3 times as fast as Chrome now on Unity3D, an it's the complete opposite, Chrome is more snappy with Java and Firefox with animations/Graphics. Here is my late

So true there is way more to the browser than the java script engine. So I ran ye old browser showdown on my comp (Fresh everything). Firefox and Chrome are very similar in speed with Java benchmarks, but once you get into the "real-wo

Oh yes, keeping up with technologies on your own time doesn't count for shit unless you were utilizing it on the job. Experience is what they are basing all their interviews on, an since most people embellish on what they can do during

I think it can be both or a combination of them. For me it was defiantly a chemical imbalance. One day my mind decided to bail with no real reason and I finally understood how depressed people just can't start a spark of motivation wit
