Using Radeon HD 5450 and Firefox ESR (128.10.1esr - 64-bit) on Debian 12. Javascript pop-ups appear very slowly (files.catbox.moe)

Is this issue related to my ancient 15-year-old graphics card, my browser, or something else?

Making those changes didn't resolve the problem

Can you test a newer version of firefox? I have 128 ESR on my work laptop and it's slow there too, it might be this.

[–] KickassWomen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

This is apparently the latest version of Firefox ESR that's available in Debian's repository.

I used these commands to update Debian:

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove

Here's the output:

Ah, a newer version without being ESR. I found this from the Mozilla website:

Thanks but I want to stick with the ESR version. It's nice n' stable.

[–] KickassWomen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I opened Firefox 134.0.2 (64-bit) that I installed via Flatpak—got the same slow pop-up issues.

[–] MRLimcon@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, so it might be something else, IDK. Good luck!

What's the system resource usable look like?

What's the CPU and what memory speed?

[–] KickassWomen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X

As for my memory, I don't know the speed and I doubt that speed is the problem here because when I use Ungoogled Chromium, the javascript pop-up opens smoothly.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's a powerful CPU so I doubt that is the problem. I just wanted to get the obvious out of the way.
