Hello I have recently installed Manjaro gnome on my 2012 iMac. And it is running extremely slow on firefox.
Things I have done:
- Updated Manjaro
- tried out different performance settings in Firefox
- Started Firefox in safe mode
Things to note:
- Win10 didn’t have this issue with Firefox
- Chromium is much faster then Firefox
