Re: any advice to fix firefox being excruciatingly slooooooooow?

firefox in Rawhide has become unusable for me also.  It seems to have runaway scripts and hangs all the time.  It is asking me to force-kill it all the time.  I have had to switch to chrome, in order to have a working browser.

Firefox no longer needs xulrunner.

Interesting....

If I remove xulrunner-27.0-1.fc21, even firefox-27-0.1-2.fc21.x86_64 behaves badly.

I see these errors when running firefox without xulrunner when it "gets stuck".

WARNING: pipe error (146): Connection reset by peer: file/builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-27.0.1/mozilla-release/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_chan

If I reinstall xulrunner-27.0-1.fc21.x86_64 I no longer see these and firefox is back to its
old self...
  i have xulrunner-27.0-1.fc21.x86_64 installed on my currently
fully-updated rawhide system.
