Firefox is unbelievably slow when I'm watching youtube videos (lemmy.ml)

I have about 25 extensions (almost all needed) and firefox lags like crazy, it's like I'm watching the videos at 10 fps. I download chrome to test it out and sure enough it runs as smooth as butter. Any help?

EDIT: It somehow fixed itself after I started using LibreWolf (with the same addons)

I don't have access to my desktop computer at the moment but i believe it was this rule: https://old.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/ykana1/how_do_i_disable_youtubes_ambient_mode_permanently/j9khxuh/

@warren_aver_france @mitchell The "Deep Dark" themes in Enhancer for Youtube will also disable ambient mode, and make things nicer, along with adding a lot of features.
