If you're a Firefox user and you're experiencing slowdowns while using Firefox, the problem might be that some of the add-ons are slowing down your application.

The best thing about Firefox is that it can be customized the way you like with add-ons, so if you want to control your music player with Firefox, or simply translate a page, you can do that. Of course, chances are that some of those add-ons might slow down your browser up to 74%.

According to Mozilla, it seems that these add-ons are using outdated coding that has been simply tweaked so it can work with the newer version of the browser. In order to warn their users about add-ons that slow down Firefox, Mozilla has created a Slow Performing Add-Ons page that shows top 10 add-ons that may slow down your browser.

According to the Mozilla, they will check top 100 popular add-ons and test them on weekly basis for slowdown issues. So far, Mozilla has no solution to this problem, but hopefully, add-on developers will update their coding and optimise slowdown issues in the near future.
