Firefox has been improving drastically in terms of performance with every release. It’s pretty evident in recent months, which is very heartwarming to be honest.
I, however, do to some bad circumstances, have been stuck with a not-so-good laptop (8 GB RAM, a 6th gen processor in AMD A8 7410) and Firefox doesn’t run that well on it. This is something that I’ve observed with Firefox- if you have a decent machine then it will run amazingly fast. However, on lower-end machines, performance can be a struggle AT TIMES.
Any tips on making this browser run at it’s best potential on a weak system are appreciated!
I think the biggest limiting factor here is the lack of RAM on that system.
Hmm, you reckon? I do have another RAM slot empty (8GB (currently in use) + 8 GB (empty right now)).
Seems like I should add more RAM to my laptop for now.
Make sure match ram timings
Check how much RAM you’re actually using when you use firefox. If you’re not using all your RAM then adding more won’t make a difference.
