Bookmarks painfully slow after 48.0.2 Firefox update
Everything was hunky dory until the awful v48 update. With no other changes to the system, bookmarks are now annoyingly slow to use. If I try to bookmark this page for example, FF has to think for 2-5 seconds before I can enter tags. After saving the bookmark it freezes for another 1-3 seconds before I can do anything else. This is an awful downgrade.
There were absolutely no other changes to my setup except for the update. I didn't change any preference, install an addon, or the like. In any case, I performed a safe mode test and this makes the pauses even worse.
What else can I try? Your FF knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Christophe, No problem, if you are happy with bookmarks not being Synced.
jasu, Message from Bugilla.
I think you have to download and use the tool mozregression to find a regression range in FF48, especially if it's reproducible only on a few machines. See http://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/ for details. In addition, could you attach the "graphics" section from about:support, please.
