A quick and easy way to improve the performance of Firefox on Linux is to force enable WebRender.
At some point in the near future Firefox will make web render the new rendering engine for all users of the browser, on as many systems as possible. But until that happens you can force enable WebRender on Linux to get the benefits (like reduced CPU usage) ahead of time.
From Mozilla: “WebRender […] will replace Gecko’s existing compositor, interfacing with Gecko’s main-thread layout code. As WebRender is written in Rust and uses a very different design approach, we expect to get stability and performance benefits from this switch.”
