I tried to like the new Firefox, maybe I didn't give it a fair chance, but it instantly disappointed me.I opened 5 gifs in new tabs and CPU usage rushed to 100% an all cores for half a minute.

But often it's the small things that make or break it. For me it was that HTML5 videos don't fullscreen to a new workspace on macOS like they do in Chrome or Safari.

Hey, if you've tried the beta or nightly versions, you can't expect them to be stable until the enter the stable version.

If you've tried the stable version, the stable version is still one version behind the changes that are coming.

I honestly recommend giving it a go again in two months.

That sounds pretty odd... if you've used previous versions of Firefox on this device you might try refreshing:

If it still happens and you want to dig into it a little further the profiler at http://perf-html.io/ allows you to gather and dig into + share details that can help fix.
