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)

25 addons vs stock chrome, I wonder what the problem could be?

the thing is it was running perfectly fine with 40+ addons, I guess it has smth to do with my new gpu? I'm outside rn I'll try the things the people recommend
