IMHO it was the restart that "fixed" it. I experience
this "getting slow" think to happen for a long time. After several
days of run, firefox needs to be restarted. 1. it's taking too
much RAM, 2. usually causing higher CPU load than after restart
with same tabs and history open. BTW: same I have to do with
gnome-shell, so maybe some graphics card driver is leaking.
Not to be too frank, but do you think I'm an idiot? Do you really
think I would report serious, consistent, ongoing performance issues
with an application without bothering to try restarting it first?
I restarted Firefox many times. I restarted gnome-shell. I restarted
my machine. Nothing helped. Performance was poor immediately after
the restart. There was no perceivable degradation over time -- it
was extremely poor right from when it started up and stayed that
way.
