I am still seeing the same issue the OP posted about at the beginning of the year. I am now at FF 38.0 on Ubuntu 14.04. I have also gone to http://greensock.com/js/speed.html to run the tests, and FF easily performs the worst out of FF, Chrome, and IE. As Jonathan suggested, I created a clean profile when I tested FF, but that did not help with performance. I have also done the tests on a colleagues Mac Book Pro, and am seeing Firefox still perform significantly worse than the other browsers.
I am developing an application where we may show many svg circles (hundreds/thousands) elements that can pulse (by changing the radius). It looks great in Chrome, decent in IE, and looks like complete crap in Firefox.
I have done a bit of research into it and it sounds like I am out of luck. Hoping someone can shed some light on if FF is fixing this soon, if there is a workaround, or what alternatives could be. For example, is there anything that I could expect to see better performance out of for animating svg elements? Is SMIL any better?
