[Bug-gnuzilla] Speed problem.

Hi! :-)

I downloaded GNU IceCat x64 binary, before a few days for a test drive.
(I'm on Debian Jessie (oldstable) x64 KDE).

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

I have no previous experience with IceCat, so I'm just reporting it.
Any opinions?

TIA! :-)
G.

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

I'm using Firefox (not ESR) from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
IceCat from https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/
Both official release binaries x64.

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.
