I love Firefox, used to use it all the time. Now it's slower on Ubuntu than Brave. I mean slow as in irritating to use, click and wait.

thats probably because you are using the snap version of firefox canonical is pushing.

a big reason why i want to ditch ubuntu.

Linux mint exists, switch and never look back. They just released version 22 and it's probably the best version of mint I've ever used. Switch to mint and use flatpaks instead.

Then something must be wrong with the way you configured your OS.

Mozilla’s Firefox browser isn’t known for speed. It falls into last place in most of our tests for Windows and Mac, and that’s okay. Firefox is more about security features than speed, which is ideal if you’re more concerned about blocking malware than loading pages in a flash.

Yep, I'd probably be wasting my time going down the uninstall-reinstall rabbit hole and would probably not find speed increases.
