I'm glad to have found this bug report. I've been having this problem for a long time now. I've exclusively used Firefox on Linux for so long that I had gradually become somewhat accustomed to it. I was frustrated with how slow it was, even doing simple things like switching between open tabs, but it's only when I use Firefox on another machine or in Windows that I notice that doing the same things is nearly instantaneous. It also seems much faster using Firefox in Linux on a machine with an AMD GPU. But my old laptop with an NVIDIA 8400M GS is so, so slow with Firefox...I really hope someone can fix this.
