I can confirm this issue using the given steps on pop os 20.10. All tests were run on the latest firefox and chrome versions (84 and 87, respectively) as of 2020-12-24. New profiles/users were used for each test (via about:profiles in firefox and the user feature in chrome). All other apps were closed for the tests.
76.3 - Firefox (Deb) (from ubuntu 20.10) 87.5 - Firefox (Flatpak) 86.6 - Firefox (Snap) 85.4 - Google Chrome (Deb) Maybe there is a compilation difference between ubuntu's firefox and other firefox sources. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908082 Title: Ubuntu Firefox is 15% slower than Flatpak Firefox for speedometer benchmark To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1908082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
