Didn't even think of it as a possibility. WTF would a browser need with LLM?

Local translation of text comes to mind.

Yup, Firefox has it: https://browser.mt/ (it's now a native part of Firefox)

Hmm maybe this is why Firefox is so damn slow on my raspberry pi

Hmm I don't think it's because of that feature, because it only runs when you explicitly ask it to translate a page for you. You should probably check your extensions, see if you have some redundant ones (a mistake people make is use multiple ad-blockers/anti-trackers, when just uBlock Origin + Firefox's defaults are usually good enough).
