Even on a clean Firefox 50.1.0 x64 install with just uBlock Origin and multi-process enabled Firefox feels quite a bit slower than Chrome. This really shouldn't still be a thing especially with Chrome also having to deal with a bunch of Flash based content on some sites (looking at you BBC News).

I've noticed most people at my office seem to use chrome because of that seems faster feeling and it's always chromes obsessive page caching which a lot of the time is a pain to deal with. Our site added some cache busting params in the Javascript request based around our git pulls but there's so many times I have to figure a situation because a chrome user is seeing something to old.

Vanilla Firefox with multiprocess was sluggish for me as well. I had no such issues with the latest Firefox Developer edition - give it a shot.
