I am a Firefox developer. Bug reports with specific examples of Firefox being slow, e.g. on a certain website, or with a certain hardware configuration, are very useful. Profiles even more so.

If it being slow really is a rule rather than an exception, then perhaps there is something in your configuration making it that way. Or a specific website that you happen to always have open. It's not normally always slow for most people, so again, this would be useful to know about.

It's true that often developers only test on Chrome, and in making sure it runs smoothly there they happen to make something that performs badly on Firefox. If we know about these websites then we can see if it's something we should change on our end, or get in touch with the developers ourselves.

I have been asking for this features for eternity, but now Firefox has changed a little may be there is a chance this might get consider again.

How about making this, Record, Profile, and Submission procedure built in. Button Accessible within 3-4 clicks. The amount of work required to get all these done and submitted is not easy especially for average users. I do a lot in my most enthusiastic days ( Mostly for Memshrink ), but after Memshrink I couldn't be bother much, unless the bug is annoying enough that persist.
