It's a fact of life that Firefox is simply slow, full stop. Even on my relatively new Linux i5-6400 machine with 8GB RAM the performance difference between Firefox and Chromium is quite large.
It's workable ... most of the time. Although some web applications are literally unusable. The development tools are also so slow that it's semi-useless.
There's this old joke, "computer have become a thousand times faster in the last 30 years but the time it takes to start your word processor is the time". When it comes to "the web" matters seem to be even worse :-(
