Are you getting warnings about addons slowing down Nightly?

[psaulm119]

I just started using Nightly, and I immediately started seeing a warning about AdblockPlus slowing it down. I went into about:performance, and saw ABP being toggled from "performing well" to "may currently be slowing down Nightly."

Is this simply an error in FF Nightly? My browser doesn't feel slow or sluggish at all--certainly no more slow than any other version of FF.

Do any Nightly users here get this message?

I do not get that message... but I only have Fan Boys Social filter set and its disabled most of the time. Plus a small list of 30 or so blocking rules that I have added. My primary blocking is done in a Windows HOSTS file

[psaulm119]

I only used the default filter (easylist?) and 20-30 custom filter rules. I had the same error in about:performance when I updated to ABP development build.

I assume you are Not lacking Ram capacity on your setup, so I have no clue
For me All six Firefox versions I use have the same behavior with the same 18 extensions

8 gigs ram, ssd hard drive, quad core cpu. I doubt it is a hardware problem.

You know, I've thought about setting up a hosts file myself. I used to do that before I installed adblockers....

Yes I see that once in awhile. Its 'supposed' to flag addons that affect e10s or could. Just click the 'ignore permanently' button and it should go away . IMO this is another ill-conceived feature that is not needed, and will only cause unneeded dismay/alarm if it ever makes into release builds. We all know, at least those of us that have been around awhile, that 'any addon' can and may slow down Firefox. Whatever slowdown there is normally is not manifested in a way that's noticeable, otherwise - we would just not use that addon.

Maybe try the Adblock Plus Dev builds, they work well for me in Aurora. https://adblockplus.org/en/development-builds

I get this message quite often with Session Manager and NoScript.

[psaulm119]

I got the same response from Firefox when I used the dev build of ABP.

I'm learning to ignore it. Next time I see it, I'll just hit the permanently ignore option.

I just started thread in Mozillazine tech about using a hosts file as an adblocker. If anyone is interested in participating, feel free:

Just use uBlock Origin

I get no warnings about slowdown. But then again I'm using the beta version.

Probably Nightly, Aurora, Beta and Release users, since this was supposed to be implemented in Firefox 38.

Firefox 38 notifies you about add-ons that slow-down the browser - gHacks Tech News
