Not to be too frank, but do you think I'm an idiot? Do you really think 
I would report serious, consistent, ongoing performance issues with an 
application without bothering to try restarting it first?

I restarted Firefox many times. I restarted gnome-shell. I restarted my 
machine. Nothing helped. Performance was poor immediately after the 
restart. There was no perceivable degradation over time -- it was 
extremely poor right from when it started up and stayed that way.
