And of course: wgich extensions do you have in firefox and how old is your profile. Try it out with new, clean profile and than you will feel it.

I mean this is fair, but eventually the profile ages and I may choose to add more extensions, no? Why would a selling point be "we're fast on a brand new install, but after a couple years and adding some extensions, we're gonna slow down like fuck"?

It is not perfect, I know. I also know that firefox keeping history locally, sqlite database gets huge and slow and fragmented.

There are solutions, but at the end it is easiest to create new profile. They also have some success with "refreshing" profiles. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings but it is removing some settings.
