Some webpages are painfully slow in FireFox: slow scrolling speed, slow when switching to the tab (up to 4 seconds!), even the firefox logo, some comete looking fox which goes around is animated choppy when these pages are open. However CPU usage is not high at all meanwhile. I am using nouveau, not Nvidia driver. I applied the mentioned settings in the wiki section "Firefox tweaks", no speed up, however appearing of context menu (when right clicking) became faster. Flash plugin is swithed off by adblock or similar plugin, so flash content can not be an issue. Should I apply some responsive style from userstyles.org or are those styles site specific?

What sites behave like this?
What's your hardware? Anything interesting in the logs and systemd's journal?
Have you tried other web browsers? Are they fast?
Switch all your firefox addons off, reboot the computer and try again.

Some dating sites. Hardware is 2 GB RAM, NVidia 5200 FX, 2.0 GHz Pentium processor.
Chrome is quite fast on that pages, but I am stuck at Firefox because the Clippings plugin: I can paste frequent sentences with key combinations.

For some reason, hardware acceleration appears to be disabled in Firefox, even if Preferences -> Advanced -> 'Use hardware acceleration when available' is enabled. Chrome on the other hand seems to use hardware acceleration just fine. So that might be the root of the problem.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fi … celeration.
Edit: Just noticed that Firefox Tweaks has these instructions so I'll link there instead.
