Well, I'm not sure how much of that is inherently slower Firefox than
Chromium. My guess is not much; point is mainly, I think, that the
foundation spent time & effort optimising Chromium for Raspberry Pi
(after they switched from Epiphany) and no such effort has gone into
Firefox. Where optimising probably means hooking into proprietary GPU APIs.

E.g. see this old article about Epiphany:
