Discord is broken on Firefox. It's fast when you restart it, but over a few days it turns into a slog to the point where if you click on a different channel, it takes over 20 seconds sometimes to load. Then when you type a message, you can only type about 5 characters before it locks up for another 20 seconds.

If you look on the mozilla bugtracker, there are many people having this same issue

I have a similar problem with the Electron version of Discord on Linux.

So I use it in a tab on Firefox. Much smoother.

Yeah, I’ve had this happen too, but all you need to do is refresh the tab. Not exactly worth writing home about.
If you would like to write home about this Discord problem, please consider filing Bugzilla bug report with a memory log from Firefox’s about:memory page and a performance profile using the Firefox Profiler:

https://profiler.firefox.com/

A profile can make a bug with vague or difficult steps to reproduce surprisingly actionable.
