I have Firefox ESR v.52.8.0esr-1~deb8u1 from repos.
Actually 52.8 with security updates.
Never worked properly, for me.

I tested IceCat with most addons disabled (except spyblock and encrypt the web.
Of course I tested it extensively at Safe Mode (with all addons disabled).

Always. From launching it since closing it.

Γιώργος Κωστόπουλος, can you tell, what versions of each release were you
using? — Not just ESR, but the 52.x version; then also, if you had any
add-ons installed, and when exactly did the speed problems appear?

Oh I see! Then we found the source of the problem! :-)

Firefox ESR forcefully installed from repositories on Debian,
somewhere in the middle of Jessie lifecycle, replacing IceWeasel (the
now defunct Debian fork of Firefox).
I tried Firefox ESR at past but I abandoned it, because it was very buggy.
(First time on repositories after many years, without prior testing).

I think I'll wait and when I'll get my hands to a more up to date
Linux system, I'll try IceCat again.
THANKS David for helping identifying the source of the problem!!!
Bye! :-)

 I downloaded GNU IceCat x64 binary, before a few days for a test drive.

 While I'm generally satisfied with it, I have (only) one major problem:
 It's very slow here. It's like having (a better) Firefox, but in slow

 I tried also in Safe Mode (searching for a troubling addon), but I had
 no gain in speed.

 Any opinions?

I'm using Firefox (not ESR) from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/


Thank you.

Could you try Firefox ESR 
(https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/) and tell us if 
it's faster? IceCat is based on Firefox ESR.



IceCat from https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/
Both official release binaries x64.

Is the downloaded Firefox ESR x64 binary that your IceCat version is 
built on faster?
