No. I try FF nightly very often because I really want to dump Chrome. But then it crashes (with devtools open, I should say; it's fine for regular browsing) or grinds to a crawl. Every tab. Total lockup, always within a few minutes of starting work.

I was also trying desperately to dump chrome, and the only thing stopping me was cpu usage. That seems to be fixed in this version.

Linux. I will try deleting my profiles.

Perhaps you can install Firefox stable, now that Quantum is available there. Nightly tends to crash more often; it crashes once or twice a week for me, but I already expect that. I'm using it to feel good about helping Mozilla.
