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 have like 9 extensions, Firefox is always updated. I don't know but I have 8gb ddr2 ram (10 year old PC), I don't think I enabled hardware acceleration. I have not tried a new install.
