Firefox Quantum excellent on one laptop, very slow on my other laptop
Firefox Quantum is a very pleasant improved browser. Much faster than the old one, and very much faster than Edge and Chrome. But this only on my main laptop. On my secondary (and much used) laptop the new Quantum is slower than the old Firefox and also much slower than Edge and Chrome. Have tried everything I can think of as a reason for this, including remove and reinstall (twice) Have also searched the net without finding anything useful. Are there anybody out there that can help me? Both laptops are made by ASUS with Intel processors, main diifference is that the good(fast) one has 8 GB memory vs the slow one has only 4 GB

hi, could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information on the affected device, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum (or if it's too long through a site like https://pastebin.mozilla.org/ and provide the link here)?
this might give us a clue what is going on. thank you!

thanks, assuming te log cam from the problematic device, there's no real "smoking gun" that stands out there. you could look into updating your intel graphics driver through https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27267/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-40-?product=80939 though and see if this is making a difference. some users also recommend ublock origin over the adblock plus extension, as it may be more performant...
But just to a certain extent. App. the speed as the "old" Firefox, but not nearly as fast as on my main laptop. Can it be to little memory?
hmm, unless you see that the overall memory is getting close to be max'ed out in the task manager i think it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
for testing purposes you could try starting win10 into safemode with networking once to see if this improves performance & to see if third-party programs on your system might otherwise have an impact during normal mode: https://support.microsoft.com/help/12376/
Have not bothered to much on the problem as such, but from my observations it seems that Firefox is starting OK and fast when I start it on one device when it is not running on any other device on my network. Bet when I then start it on a second device, it is very slow on this second device. Anyone who have a way around this problem, as I very often runs Firefox on 2 devices at the same time.
