Offtopic, but does anyone find Firefox really slow for gmail? I'm wondering if Google do stuff to slow Firefox down deliberately.

Gmail performance is pretty horrific, for what it does. It used to be even worse (twice as much memory and CPU as Youtube according to about:performance), but they've improved a bit since then.

It's still pretty bad, though.

You're getting downvoted but they actually did this with Youtube. So the answer is yes its possible.

Not really, but I'm still using Basic HTML gmail!

It's a very well hidden option, but the https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/ link should take you there.

It was once unusually fast on FF right after google shortage a couple of month ago. Everything I click was instant, never had those kind of experience.

Now I feel like it's slow on both. There might be a priority issue but I doubt its slowness is FF only.
