I just tried your experiment on Chrome and yep, it was faster than Firefox, but by no means was Firefox slow. Sure, the UI slowed down a touch for the few seconds it took to load the pages (framerate dropped while I scrolled up and down) but it wasn’t unusable and I definitely didn’t have to wait 30 seconds - didn’t have to wait at all.

Maybe I’ve just got a decent-spec machine here at work (quad i5, 12gb ram)…

I use a 2010 MBA (with SSD). Not super-fast, but not ancient either.

I would love to be able to scroll while other tabs were starting their loading!

That should be easily fast enough. If you don’t care about your Firefox profile but want to try Firefox again occasionally then I’d just blow it away and create a fresh one. It lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox.

By the way, sorry you’re being downvoted. You’re adding to the conversation, not trolling.
