How to improve general UI responsiveness without losing history?
Hello everyone,
I would say that I am a Firefox power user that has a lot of bookmarks, quite some history and usually has between 10 and 150 tabs open. Now I don't mind Firefox taking a second to load when I have a lot of data to be opened as well, but what is really frustrating is that, when I open a new tab and start typing, the response is hugely delayed (sometimes by a few seconds). I wouldn't mind the suggestions (from history and bookmarks) to take a while either. I just want to be able to type a web address and check whether I made a typo before hitting enter without waiting for 3 to 10 seconds. I would prefer not to lose my history and of course want to keep the bookmarks.
all the best, Alex

Does it at least help if you disable the location/address bar drop-down list?
You can set what suggestions to show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar bar via "Options/Preferences > Privacy"
- Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:
History
Bookmarks
Open tabs
It seems to help a little bit, but as I put more attention on when the awesome bar is slow it seems that it's the times when Firefox is busy in general. So shortly after startup when the pinned tabs are loading or when something else is resource hungry. (Btw. this does not mean that my system is on a very high load, it's mostly Firefox that is busy, the rest works fine...) Thanks for the help and I guess I'll wait for an async awesomebar that is independent of tabs loading in the background ;-) (btw. will e10s help with that?)

Note that you can also make pinned tabs load on demand by setting the related pref to true.
- browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand
browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand (pinned tabs)(false) browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand (default as set in Options/Preferences -> General)(true)
