Firefox is unbearably slow on everything including high-end Xeons if you don’t have a video accelerator (think headless VNC).

Perhaps the video driver or compositing is misconfigured?

Firefox is my default browser, and I’ve found Firefox to be fine on low end machines as long as it can use the video card properly.

Chrome tends to have better compatibility with chomebook-class hardware for obvious reasons.

The experience is a few years old now but I spent a year in college running Firefox on a celeron netbook with just the EFI framebuffer (anything else would crash on boot) and it was totally usable unless you opened google sheets. On my ryzen desktop that I built during the lockdown (after baking some bread heh) it’s very snappy. IME chrome (on GNU/Linux anyway) is usually much worse than Firefox unless you’re in the habit of opening hundreds (at least) of tabs.
