Just had to use Firefox remotely (to use WeTransfer to ship a giant file, they dropped support for their cli, grr), and had exactly this issue - it works incredibly slowly over X over SSH. In the end had to use vnc over SSH. (Note that tightvncserver seems to silently ignore the -localhost option now, which means it's completely insecure to run on an internet connected machine. Tigervnc still has the option)

The issue is the new webrenderer or how it is called. There are options in about:config to disable it and force the old webrenderer. Then it can runs rather fast on X over SSH in LAN and somewhat okayish through the internet. Ten years ago I was using it all the time and it was very fast over the internet and perhaps even through Tor. I do not know how they could mess it up so badly
