If I had to guess? Try disabling webrender on the new computer. Firefox is rolling this out by default but if your GPU sucks or has fucked up drivers for whatever reason it can cause severe performance issues.
goto about:config and search for gfx.webrender.enabled and make sure it's set to false.
EDIT: More info on the rollout https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/20/firefox-webrender-rollout-begins-with-the-release-of-firefox-67/ https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/20/firefox-webrender-rollout-...

- floatingatoll 7y agoI believe the Firefox crash stats database includes both “is webrender enabled” and “what is your GPU” with crash reports, which likely relates to their choices for only enabling it for specific GPUs right now.
- dralley 7y agoWebrender is only rolled out to something like 2% of users, that is unlikely to be the problem.
