Do Firefox Persona slow your computer?

Question

I have noticed that my system has slowed down since i started using Firefox Persona. it is very frustrating to move to next tab. Is it because of the Personas or is my computer to be blamed?

Answer 1

Yes,

I noticed it right away, particularly when you choose "random persona" from your favorites, and I do mean ludicrously slow; lock-up slow.

But, if you just choose one, it seems to be 'not to bad'. The question is: "Did someone TRY this on a windows machine before adding it to the new version?"

Oh, well.

cheerios, aaron

Answer 2

Well, we can't tell until you play around with Firefox for at least a few hours without a Persona first, can't we? (Even in computers there are controlled experiments.)

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure they shouldn't slow you down too much if at all. You'd be better off looking in to extensions and crapware on your machine.

I run an aero skin for Firefox and I don't notice any speed difference from stock (it could however affect yours, it all depends on hardware, and software setups)
