Firefox Community Forum

I've been struggling with Firefox's poor performance on my aging computers. I have a new macbook as well as 2 vintage macbooks and my desktop runs OS 10.13.6. Performance after the last several updates is slow and occasionally websites not showing, which caused me to attempt to downgrade to FF 78.6, but tried clearing cache instead. I had way too many websites open. Clearing cache improved things slightly, but now this—Pocket: after resetting Firefox I'm confronted with the poor decision-making that has allowed your browser to be infiltrated by 'Pocket;' news for the somnambulist slumbering through the Trumpocolypse to grease our slide into full-blown fascism. Do I exaggerate? Yesterday Trump called on the justice dept to open an investigation into the Republican in his last administration who declared the 2020 election results valid-- So, by extension, we now live in a time when the king, er, I mean the Commander in Chief, uh, president, whatever, can use the government to target anyone he doesn't like for any reason. Newsworthy? Okay, amongst the twenty or so Pocket offerings is a ProPublica story and one from AP I'd find interesting, but I'd have bailed long before I saw them because of all the 'amazing' credit card offers and such BS in the way. Which is too bad, because that means the Mozilla effort to reign in AI comes last of all. Open source, with ads.
