Hi, Jim. No noticeable improvement in speed in any FF version. Back to Pale Moon. !

FF 58 is fast unless you have Norton Identity Safe or Norton Safe Web extensions running.

This came about when others report slow script errors.

I also noticed some lags on Facebook and other sites.

I went back to older versions of those extensions and no errors and no lag.

I am now using Norton Identity Safe 5.1.1.2 and Norton Safe Web 2.3.0.24 and back to full speed.

Newer versions of these extensions are affected.

Just a heads up  in case FF seems slow.

Jim

 

Supposedly much quicker. I've installed the 64 bit version, so we'll see.

FF 58.0 is available from the internal updater now.
