This is strange, because Firefox is much faster than Safari for me. Have you tried Firefox Nightly?

If you want to try their experimental GPU rendering (webrender) you can enable it via about:config -> gfx.webrender.all = true

It works well on windows, I don't know how far the mac support is.

Note that the WebRender can only be enabled in the Firefox Nightly channel. To confirm that it's working, flip the pref, restart Firefox Nightly, and then search for "WebRender" in about:support.

WebRender does work on macOS (and Android and maybe Linux), but Mozilla is prioritizing a Windows MVP first (because something like 90% of Firefox users are on Windows). Work on macOS, Linux, and Android will then resume.
