Firefox

All the time, not important which version of FreeBSD or version of Firefox, there 8 PIDs - running all the time. Why?
Thank you.

Why does task manager show 6 "instances" of Firefox? | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support

support.mozilla.org

• one process for the main Firefox thread (user interface)
• one or more content processes, see:
  Options/Preferences -> General -> Performance
  remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
• a process for the compositor thread
• a process for the WebRender when this feature is enabled
• a process for extensions

Im running FreeBSD14.2-Release on my laptop and im using FF as my main browser - rescently i started to cry as its so bad, slow and laggy - my al 8 cores being used all the time if i play youtube, do something , reddit just laggs the f out ... but same issues was on PC. FF started to be a huge issue in past year when you try to open few tabs and i usually have 10+ .
This is my firefox right now and its not that bad compared that sometimes system is 100% busy due to ff.

I am using more Qutebrowser than FF now. It works good. If they will update webkit2-gtk3 for the new version I will install luakit which I like it.

Wasn't there somebody recently who tracked down FF slowness to non-hardware acceleration graphics drivers?

One more reason to give LibreWolf a go. Try and compare.

Luakit is awesome but i need something i can sync my history,favorites and passwords.

Hmmm, very odd as my PC was with nVidia. I did see difference with AMD being worst but nVidia helped a lot - time to dig deeper to see what is possible

Does it has a sync ?
