Firefox lags and sometimes freezes completely on Devuan 6

I haven't done anything wrong. Just XFCE install, i5 1235U laptop, but firefox freezes sometimes. It's weird but doesn't happen on Gnome Wayland.

Maybe doesn't help you, but I have no problems using Firefox on XFCE on my I3 or i5 computers, using Devuan from 'server' media installs.....

Do you happen to have any extensions installed. Also you my try running Firefox from terminal, like this:

firefox > out.txt 2>&1

Firefox outputs quite a lot. When it freezes, wait a bit. The output might be buffered, so give it a minute. You might examine out.txt while firefox is still running and also after you stop it.
