There are websites that have video playing back in the background and removethebackground.com is one of those sites. This kind of effect slows browser's response almost to a crawl unless I switch to another tab.

I have restarted Firefox in safe-mode with all addons disabled and video was playing smooth. This indicated to me that there was problem with addons and extensions and I disabled them all manually one-by-one after restarting in normal mode. But video was sluggish again despite all addons and extensions I disabled.

This is not clear to me. Are there other things that Firefox not shows me which can be disabled?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbar layout is used (localstore-safe.rdf file)
  • JavaScript JIT compilers are disabled (about:config page: javascript.options.*jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected
