My Ubuntu system has been slow since recent updates. Usable for most things, but Facebook in particular has slowed to a crawl. A facebook video takes 5 to 8 minutes to load. The Gnome system monitor shows I have a swap file but the current value never varies away from zero. Running a Samsung netbook N110 with 2Gig ram.

Hi

Thank you for your question.

I use Ubuntu 16.04 myself and this question sounds less like an issue with Firefox and more of a question for a dedicated Ubuntu support forum.
