Firefox 59.0 (64-bit) on Windows 7 Older version was slow, dont think it plays well with Kaspersky. Quantum is worse, high CPU and using 6 gb of RAM for 6 tabs. Older Firefox on my XP laptop runs faster. Why is quantum such a resource hog, going to have to ditch it if I cant get it running at least as well as old firefox on Windows XP.

Hi, do what you have to do.

You could try this please : Go the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.

Note : Acceleration is for your Video Card, monitor to see if need to turn back on. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings
