FIrfox dev edition download and upload speed test keeps dropping

Hello Mozzilla

I use Firefox Developer Edition as my main browser, mainly because I do a lot of web work and love the feel and bleeding edge releases :D

I have been complaining to my ISP about slow internet speeds of 44MS ping, 2Mbps upload and 2Mpbs Download, when I should be getting close to 2 - 14MS ping, 80Mbps Download and 15+Mbps Upload.

I was recommended to use speedtest.net to get an accurate speed test, anyway I tested in Firefox developer edition and got the results above of 44MS ping and 2Mbps Up and Down.

Thought it would be a good idea to test in other browsers including Edge :(

Well, that is where the results change sharply, in all browsers, Chrome, Normal Firefox and Edge I get on average 12MS ping, 70Mbps Download and 15Mbps Upload.

They also all perform beautifully as expected e.g. pages load significantly faster then Firefox Dev Edition.

This could be a recent update or something is not quite right with it, I have tried to enhance performance by allowing it access to 7 cores instead of 4 and it still seems to run very slow.

Please note I am using the normal Firefox to send this as the Firefox Dev Edition is too slow.

I hope you can help

With Regards Chris Russell
