Well... there is a reason why so many folks sswitched to Chrome. Especially back when Chrome was new, Firefox just felt sluggish and slow. Chrome was a new breeze.

It took Firefox a long time to catch up. I've been trying semi regularly and just 3 years ago it was "okayish". Tried it a few days ago again and switched all my devices over.

I don't know what happened, but I installed it and it just felt snappy and fast. Apart from having some awesome features. Luckily if you don't really keep bookmarks and such, switching isn't that hard.

At least with Firefox Quantum (v57) they have tried to continuously bring in optimizations to bump the performance. In the meantime there has been lots of work with WebRender, a newer and more robust Javascript Engine and better CSS engine which made it get faster every update. Being quite fast and snappy isn't just a placebo since Firefox has lately started to get better Speedometer scores than Chrome
