Everything else on this "slow" computer (yes, it's old but has 4 dual-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v2 @ 3.70GHz processors and 32 GB RAM) works just fine otherwise. Drive and memory all test fine. Only Firefox causes me problems if I let it run for a long time. My system is up 24/7. YMMV, of course, and that's great for you. But don't dismiss other people's experiences so out of hand please.
Sorry if you felt offended. But you said yourself "It can slow the whole system down in my experience." No single application should slow down entire system with 32GB of RAM, 2 CPUs and multiple threads, unless something is misconfigured or suboptimal, like GPU driver for example. I have 64GB of ECC RAM in this machine, Firefox ESR didn't crashed even once since I installed Bullseye, I never close it. I use Radeon card with open source driver. GPU has a big effect on browsers, because they use hardware acceleration. What GPU you have? -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
