Webpage loading slow
Firefox updated a few days ago for me. Since then, I've had a lot more lag when loading websites like Linkedin. It loads the page in a reasonable time, but then I have to wait an extra 5 seconds before I can copy or select any of the text. This has never happened before, and I'm noticing it on two separate computers I use Firefox on. I have tried refreshing Firefox and have no difference. Nothing has changed in the way I'm loading websites, but Firefox is simply struggling to load it as fast. I also have noticed it's being more and more intensive, and taking up more processing power than every before. I only have uBlock Origin as my addon, which isn't a conflict.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Check your task manager and see how many Firefox processes are running.
Latest update forces e10 multiprocess on users, possibly this was disabled via config before and is now not possible.

I have 8 instances of Firefox running in the background according to task manager, and only three tabs open. I think it's crazy how much processing power it's using compared to a few years ago. I feel like Firefox ran quicker when it only used one process.
My typical lag goes like this: I type my search in the url bar, and I see the search URL in the URL bar. But Firefox waits 5-10 seconds before it actually loads the page. Then, after the page is visually loaded, I have to wait 10 seconds before I can copy or select any text. I've definitely never had this problem since the last update, I'm running the recommended performance settings, so I'm not sure if there's anything else I can do.
