I know this will irk some people but… Do you know why using Gmail or YouTube on Firefox feels slower on an Apple computer?
I use Firefox on Android exclusively, but on Apple computers I still use Chrome more since Firefox seems to either be slow on certain websites or use too much memory (I’m sure it’s not Mozilla’s fault here)
BTW I actually donate to Mozilla because I think it needs to survive (though it must be a drop compared to what Google pays Mozilla and I hope they keep doing it), but I’m not using Firefox all the time as I’d like, since the experience looks a tad worse on Desktop
Google makes their websites slower in Firefox. I don’t think this is related to Apple at all. You’ll probably have the same experience in Linux or Windows with Firefox and Google. They just want you to use Chrome.
After writing my comment, I did some research again and found an old Reddit post suggesting to lower the resolution to 1280x800 on a 13’ screen. I did so, just as a test, and now when I open websites like YouTube or Roll20, the fan is always off. I’ll try it tomorrow with Google Meet and Webex, which is also something that made the fan explode.

Firefox on osx and Google meet sucks. But I use it anyways because everything else is better.
