Just upgraded my iMac osx Yosemite to Firefox 60.0.1 and it's painfully slow now
I just upgraded this morning because I kept getting message that my version need a critical update. Wow...it is NOT faster. It is painfully slow. I am now leaving the room to go do something else as I wait for pages to load

HI, will see if these help you out :
To be Checked and turned off unless needed for accessibility : Please : go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.
Multi-Processor Support : Go to the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please. Note : Hardware Acceleration is for Video Card, Monitor to see if remain off or to turn back on.
Only Disable as last resort.
Multi-processor Can completely disable it this way in about:config : dom.ipc.processCount set to 1 browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false
Only move to esr if low ram and old system.
Firefox Extended Release Version : Firefox ESR does not come with the latest features but it has the latest security and stability fixes.
If do please :
I would backup before running this. It is back but not a Extension or sanctioned for use : https://www.crystalidea.com/speedyfox
