Is this issue related to my ancient 15-year-old graphics card, my browser, or something else?

    One thing, always use hardware acceleration.

    Does it get better if you set in about:config:

    • dom.ipc.processCount and dom.ipc.processCount.webIsolated to your number of threads on your cpu
    • gfx.webrender.all to true
    • fission.autostart to true

    I think it would, in my suspicion, make a better use of your cpu (the threadpool would be more efficient in the processcount), using the new renderer (webrender) and possibly make it a little more secure with one thread per website (or something, i don’t remember exactly) using fission.

    Edit: An explanation on webrender

        Can you test a newer version of firefox? I have 128 ESR on my work laptop and it’s slow there too, it might be this.

          This is apparently the latest version of Firefox ESR that’s available in Debian’s repository.

          I used these commands to update Debian:

          sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove

          Here’s the output:
