Mozilla to Crack Down on Add-ons Slowing Down Firefox
Browser add-ons are a great way of bolting on new functionality and customizing the experience to a high degree. But they're also a great way of slowing down browser quite a lot, which is why Mozilla is introducing several new measures to cut down on poorly optimized add-ons for Firefox.
"Firefox performance is extremely important to our users, especially how quickly it starts up and loads websites. Customization is also extremely important, and while most add-ons cause only a tiny performance impact, others can significantly slow down Firefox," Mozilla explains.
"Many users don’t realize add-ons can cause these delays, and that’s why we’re committed to improving performance in a big way," it adds.
