For Firefox rendering being slow, I forced the Ubuntu Firefox to use Wayland the other day (my login session was already wayland but Ubuntu doesn't default to making firefox using it), and the difference is night and day. Everything is so much faster and super smooth.

FYI I popped this in my .pam_environment (I was having issues when just editing the .desktop file in that thunderbird stopped being able to open links in firefox)

MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND DEFAULT=1

Given all the ads for Firefox on HN I keep trying it but it's insanely slow.

I don't think it's intended to be like this, not sure where to begin troubleshooting.

Are yo running Firefox on Linux? Or some other platform?
