Could be but I don't think so in this case. It seems (based on no evidence - purely feel) that there's some kind of event listener being triggered every time the page scrolls (whether this be touch/scroll event, visible contents, etc idk) and this event listener has different optimisation or performance characteristics depending on the device and rendering engine.

Random performance issues

Menu doesn't open in landscape mode

Tab overview page not working consistently - this one is hard to capture right now but what happens is when you have a large amount of tabs open (say over 30), when you hit the tab overview button it doesn't take you to the currently open tab in the list, instead it takes you to the very top. This is not the normal behaviour. If you open and close it a few times it will randomly work properly 1/10 times.

I honestly have no idea of the root cause. Different users are reporting different things. It seems to manifest differently for everyone. At a high level I would say it's due to the use of a JavaScript framework as a purely static HTML/CSS only site should not be doing this.

What refresh rate is your display running?

Very strange! Everyone who has replied has had a different experience on this website. It's probably an issue with the website, not Firefox per se. It simply manifests on Firefox for me personally.

Yeah it's incredibly annoying. I can't remember the exact details but a while ago they removed about:config from the stable build and I was using a setting in there. Okay well I can just use the beta build right? Except the beta build took away another different feature that the stable build had!

With using a VPN for the common user use case (excluding business/work VPNs) you generally don't want to self-host. Part of the reason is that you want your traffic that comes out the other side to be mixed with a bunch of other users. If it's a 1 to 1 mapping i.e., you -> vpn -> web traffic then that can be reversed and traced back to you. If there's many users connected to the same VPN then the "you" and the "web traffic" parts are multiplied by hundreds or thousands of other users with no way to connect the dots. That web traffic might be coming from you or it might be coming from any one of the thousands of other users.

I hope I've explained that clearly.

Yeah I understand. For something you use so actively you want it to be as seamless as possible. Maybe have another look at the "install to home screen" option though! I think you can do it on Chrome too btw. But I believe it should actually open as a seperate "app" on your phone.

So instead of having 1 browser app that contains whatever you're browsing + your dashboard, you could have 1 app for browsing + 1 "app" for your dashboard. It would allow you to even close down your browsing while always having an open dashboard. Maybe it doesn't fit your flow but it seems like an option worth considering if you haven't already.

it seems everyone has had completely different results! I've uploaded my experience here: video

for me if you look closely, ff hitches and lags on scroll while chrome scrolls perfectly smoothly
