minus-square@ReversalHatchery@beehaw.orglinkfedilink1•1 year agoOn my phone the new firefox for android is much, much slower than the old one, even though it rarely has any tabs open (because I barely use it). Old firefox with a few dozen tabs is much more performant for me.
minus-squaremintyfroglinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoOld Firefox - are you talking about version >79, with no security updates and designed for popular phones of 2019 like the Galxy A10 with 2GB RAM? 8 tabs on the latest FF android uses like 900MB RAM which isn’t a problem for most 2023 devices with 6+GB
minus-square@ReversalHatchery@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoYes, that one. My phone has 3 GB of RAM. Though I think there might be other issues too, because it’s UI is lagging even after just opening it.
