I think Firefox may actually be the problem: it _is_ memory hungry.
The Web is getting heavier and more memory hungry in general - maybe
open one or two pages and see how much faster it is.

You could purge LXQT and install LXDE - using tasksel as root/root

I think, and then switch between them. Again, use tasksel to just add
it.
