Something is wrong on your system. What you say does not correspond to my experience at all. I use Firefox and Chromium from packages all day every day at work and have no problems. I don't use Facebook or LinkedIn but I do use Google Docs, Sheets, Gmail, etc. which are all heavy javascript and they all work fine. At home I run on a 10+ year old MacPro1,1 and browser performance is "acceptable" there also, i.e. similar to what I remember from when the machine ran MacOS. Allan
