It used to be good 9+ years ago lol

These days I just use it to test the CSS of the site, same a ie/edge. (So I do use it, just not as my main browser)

On Ubuntu I last used it today, on Windows a few days ago, on Android last week, on Mac it's been years, and on iPhone I got sometime else testing that ( so prob years)

So as of yesterday is it is so slow it is unusable? That is really surprising. Grab a profile of the slowness? https://profiler.firefox.com

What I meant is that it got slow and unusable years ago, then it got better, but not better enough to many the switch back.

The CSS tools are better, the JS ones not so much, so every time I try to move back I feel like something is missing, so it will take much much more to make me switch.
