following up on my recent posts about how painfully, excruciatingly, nad-grindingly, thigh-suckingly slow firefox is on fedora rawhide, well, nothing's changed. when i do something as simple as switch tabs, i can go fix myself a martini while waiting.
so ... what can i do to debug this? i'm using a non-debug kernel, i have nothing else of any significance running, "top" doesn't show anything else hogging resources ... so now what?
if i recall correctly, fedora 20 worked just fine, while i wouldn't wish fedora rawhide on someone holding me up at gunpoint.
please ... thoughts?

Have you tried other browsers for example google-chrome?

Must not be a general problem since.....
[egreshko@f20kde ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 21 (Rawhide) [egreshko@f20kde ~]$ rpm -q firefox firefox-28.0-3.fc21.x86_64 [egreshko@f20kde ~]$ uname -a Linux f20kde 3.15.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 3 01:09:55 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And all is running just fine for me. I think others have said the same thing on the "testing" list where this issue should be addressed.
I suppose you've already tried creating a new/clean user and have the same problem?

as mentioned, have you tried a new profile?
SWAG #1. have tried removing current firefox installation and installed rawhide or earlier version?
SWAG #2. open "Browser Console" <ctrl+shift+j>, select [Clear] button, restart firefox, try opening tabs, after they open, <ctrl+shift+j> to see if anything shows.

The flash plugin is infamous for doing this.

The Firefox is executed within the Xorg - X server. So you can start from there, - Xorg module for video card - Mesa-based DRI module Down the rabbit hole, - Kernel video module

- Xorg module for video card
- Mesa-based DRI module
Down the rabbit hole,
- Kernel video module
Xorg ati video module https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugs/xorg-x11-drv-ati
Xorg Intel video module https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugs/xorg-x11-drv-intel
Xorg nouveau video module https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugs/xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
Mesa-based DRI modules https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugs/mesa
For testing purposes you can temporarily switch to: Xorg modesetting video module - basic modesetting fallback module https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugs/xorg-x11-drv-modesetting i.e. $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "video0" Driver "modesetting" EndSection
Check what's happening with: $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Apologies if asking you to repeat yourself, but I don't see the previous messages on this.
What have you tried? What do you see?
The internet is full of "Firefox is slow, and here's what to do" postings. Over the years, I've run safe mode (see the man page), started the Profile Manager (see the man page) and started with a clean profile, enabled/disabled syncing, disabled all plugins, and disabled Flash, all in attempts to fix a performance issue. All of which, in various combinations, resulted in partial, temporary victories.
So, let us know what you've tried, so we can avoid repeating the internet.
Happily running F19 and FireFox 28.0,
Ted

That's because he posted them to the Fedora Test list. Once again folks, this is *the wrong list for discussing Rawhide*. People who continue the thread here are just compounding the problem, which is that many of those developing Rawhide don't even read *this* list.

Well, he had previously posted about this problem on the *test* list on 3/29 and has gotten several replies and suggestions. Some, like myself, haven't had any problems. Others have offered suggestions about not running the debug version of the kernel. Then there are the usual "flash is your problem" suggestions or asking about memory capacity.
I suggested here, and on the test list, that he try using a newly created user to eliminate something in his environment. I've not seen any response to my suggestion. So.....the troubleshooting of this issue seems haphazard at best.
Of course the idea of having a martini while waiting to switch tabs does appeal to me.

"This list provides community assistance, encouragement, and advice for Fedora users." https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users
This is a very vague definition, what is the what. If Fedora user has problems with digestion, should she be advised. Maybe "... for the Fedora Current Supported Releases usage", would be more accurate.
I'm still waiting for my Martinis shaken, Robert! :)
