Anecdotally but Firefox has become slower and slower in the past few years for me. I have no idea what is going on behind the scene but it's getting nearly unusable. Tried Edge yesterday and it was so much faster, but the amount of ads pushing is yikes.

The chrome ecosystem is pulling away. At its core, chromium contains a state-of-the-art language runtime for JS. The fact that V8 stands alone as a project and contributor community gives it an advantage over Firefox, which lacks the resources to keep pace.

Not sure if this is what you're experiencing but I don't have IPV6 and this was causing a number of issues for me. Firefox has been so much better since disabling this.

What extensions do you have? I've not experienced this, so my guess is that it's an extension.
