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!

    replace ur hdd with a sata sdd.

    other frivolous measures tha could help: replace ur cpu thermal paste to avoid thermal throttling and make sure it makes good contact with heat sink+clean fan with brush

    format the hdd and reinstall ur os (especially if its windows)

      I do have an SSD, and it's a huge improvement from an HDD no doubt!

      replace ur cpu thermal paste to avoid thermal throtltling and make sure it makes good contact with heat sink+clean fan with brush

      This I'd do! Thanks!
