Same here, I see a whole lot of marketing and people saying it is fast, but 10 minutes into trying it seems to just struggle.

Watching youtube in 1080p it struggles and CPU goes up, fans are on.

Scrolling Heavy e-commerce sites (amazon, jumia)... CPU goes up, fans are on.

Yet, run chrome on these same sites, with the same settings and no fan noises/frezes at all.

I seem to recall that there was a bug on macOS which made it eat too much CPU on non-native screen resolutions (UI scaling) for some reason, which likely explains drastic differences in how people perceive Firefox there.
