See my link. I performance tested Firefox, Pale Moon and CyberFox on the same hardware within Windows and posted the results. Maybe the current Debian build is a bit messed up. Debian does their own builds of Firefox through a special agreement with Mozilla (they aren't Mozilla builds).
Firefox experience on Linux is lackluster. No hardware acceleration, neither on opensource video drivers, nor on proprietary(Nvidia and AMD). On the same hardware on Win10 Firefox experience is definitely better.
The only way of MAYBE having a consistent experience on linux is to only use applications written for the DE of your choice isn't it? Use firefox on KDE and the consistency is already gone.
Are you using anything other than a Linux distro’s stable, extended-support release? Most of the complaints on HN about Firefox instability seem to be either Windows users, or Linux users upgrading to the latest and greatest, often outside of their distro’s packaging. Meanwhile, I have been running Debian stable’s Firefox for many years and simply have never encountered the bugginess that gets described on these HN threads.
Awesome, thank you! Even though it's not what I was hoping for. If you're still set up, you could try with Chrome on both ends, since a single Firefox participant is known to degrade the quality for the whole conference. (I'll try to find a reference once I'm at my desk.) I suppose if the rpi is at 100% cpu that's unrelated, though.
What stack are you using? Firefox is smooth on Debian 10 both in Gnome and KDE.
