FWIW, Google Maps are generally noticeably slower and laggier in Firefox when compared to Chrome.

The old Google Maps were orders of magnitudes faster than the current one in all browsers.

Despite Google's claim to the contrary, they obviously no longer care about performance for some of their web-products.

Still, old one was faster.

Same with Inbox and Sheets. It's really getting annoying, since I prefer Firefox.

Maps straight-up crashes ff for me when zooming.

Have you filed a bug with Mozilla about that? Speed issues are one thing, but crashing is another.

Could never reproduce it consistently, and I'm always hesitent to file a bug without decent repro steps. Also, it seems to have been fixed in latest... maybe. Again, if I can't reproduce it consistently, I can't say if it's fixed or not.

I did go through the crash reporter.

So what I do in these situations is go to about:crashes, click on the appropriate crash id and look under the Related Bugs section. If there’s been a bug filed with the same signature then it’ll appear there. Alternatively, if it’s not been filed already you could click on ‘More Reports’ and look at the number of crashes. If it looks like a few you might want to file it with just the signature and no steps to reproduce; sometimes a signature and backtrace alone is enough to diagnose and fix (e.g. this one I filed recently: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163945 ).
