It's a tonne better but is still faster with omtp disabled and hangs with it enabled for me.

I don't see any hangs or speed drops. Is there a specific website where you'd see a hang?

Same as last time: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Calcula ... ial/Simple

It only happens when I drag scroll fast though. It might also be due to using a slow GPU (5750) and weak IPC CPU (8320) that makes it more prominent.

If that's an AMD HD5750, I'm using the exact same card right now with the last released Crimson Beta drivers. But I have an Intel Ci5 3570k CPU.

I get a slight delay which is about half a second but not the 6 second wait it was before.

Okay, anyone know the new command for Restarting the Browser?
Since no add-on is out for Restarting and CTRL+ALT+R is no longer the function, I was curious on what I could do, now.
The function still works on Firefox 56 but I am on 57.

Edit: It seems to open Reader Mode.

Okay, anyone know the new command for Restarting the Browser?...

Shift+F2 opens the Developer Toolbar (bottom of window; I missed seeing it on first try)
Then in that toolbar type "restart" & press ENTER.

I just leave the toolbar open now. Not as handy as a restart button or shortcut, but better than a manual restart.

I seem to have forgotten about this one, but it still works so no complaints.
It'll have to do, for now. Thank you.

Do you know Bugzilla ticket for this?

It causes problems with performance and maintainability

Well, it wasn't that useful to begin with. I still would like a task manager for Firefox like Chromium's.

I don't have strong feelings about it. I've used the web side of about:performance in the past, but I expect the usecase would probably be better served by an add-on that used the gecko profiler and did some automatic analysis of which tabs/windows were taking up cycles, rather than having several competing APIs to get this kind of information with.

emphasis mine. This seems like a wise decision to me, having used the profiler many times before. About:performance is comparatively.. useless. Particularly for debugging.


WRT omtp... is it defaulted on? Not seeing any issues for that wikia page on my laptop (970M graphics) with WR
