Firefox lagging lagging a ton for a second or two

more options

I tried the troubleshooting mode, which turns off all the add-ons. Despite that, my Firefox still lags. For example, when I click on a new tab, it takes a couple of seconds to open. When I am typing, it takes a few seconds every now and then to catch up. Additionally, when I am scrolling, it will be unresponsive for a couple of seconds before jumping to where I supposedly scrolled to. I am using Mint Linux Firefox 128.0.3.

What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Also try your os or openSUSE on a live usb stick to see if you have the same issue.

Weirdly, that worked. I just uninstalled the system package. It's a little inconvenient to launch it every time, but downloading directly from Mozilla worked.
