Why is Firefox extremely slow on Windows 10?

[Windows Central Question]

Firefox extremely slow on windows 10

I switched from chrome to firefox since chrome was draining the battery of my xps 13 (i5, 4GB). Battery life after switching to firefox is significantly better, but performance wise, everything is so sluggish while using firefox. It even lags when I tried to open a new blank tab- took like have a second after I clicked the "plus" sign to open new tab, then opens the tab in segments. The lag also happens to almost every command I have for firefox.

I wonder if anyone experienced slow firefox on windows 10? If so, any solutions to it? Can't really go back to chrome due to battery life issue (so is Edge).

Thanks!

I can't get my wife to ditch Firefox... But I'm enjoying Opera on my Windows 10. Along with AdBlock+ it is pretty speedy, IMHO.

They have a new v36 that is tweaked for 10.
