Yeah, last time I tried Firefox on Mac OS it was terrible. On my laptop, running GNU/Linux (with lower specs), it's way faster.

Exactly! I was confused for a long time about the slowness people kept talking about with Firefox, and then work switched to MacBooks. Firefox is faster and more capable on my cheap Linux device than any browser on the Mac, but on the Mac, Firefox is slowest. So strange.

When was the last time you tried it? It's still not as fast as on Windows or Linux but it's much better than it used to be.

The point is, performance-wise, it's not the best choice on Mac OS. Not that I care much, I rarely dwell on Apple computers.
