I've noticed this on Windows. The new Firefox seems to be a bit more chatty to the disk. If some other process is hammering the disk then autocomplete gets really laggy. I suspect it is optimized for SSDs.

On the other hand, if the disk is idle it is blazing fast.

Reminds me of behaviors i have seen on Android for the longest time (to the point that i have effectively given up on using Firefox on Android because it slows down so easily there).
