User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build ID: 20180211220056 Steps to reproduce: After enabling WebRender it feels like on scrolling on many pages is actually slower compared to the "traditional" opengl composition method. Also, cpu utilization seems to be higher (and inside the main firefox binary instead of the external processes). I have no hard numbers to back that claim, but before enabling webrender unconditionally i think it should be tested whether WebRender can shine on real-world workload such as scrolling web pages.

Do you notice this on all pages or just some? Can you post the graphics section of about support?
