So, the title completely describes the problem.
If firefox is being run with "default" profile(provided by gentoo), some tabs(that need heavy js) work slow(VERY low fps).
Running with clear profile resolves this issue, but clear profile is a complete crap(at least it has very weak privacy). I don't know how to get profile diff, so trying to provide more information.
I've tried disabling extensions(doesn't help), playing with hardware acceleration options and differences in changed options between two profiles(doesn't help too). Here is output of
Code:
equery uses firefox -i

Code:
 * Found these USE flags for www-client/firefox-91.11.0:
 U I
 + - clang           : Use Clang compiler instead of GCC
 + + dbus            : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc)
 - - debug           : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see
                       https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
 + - eme-free        : Disable EME (DRM plugin) capability at build time
 - - geckodriver     : Enable WebDriver support
 + - gmp-autoupdate  : Allow Gecko Media Plugins (binary blobs) to be automatically downloaded and kept up-to-date in user profiles
 - - hardened        : Activate default security enhancements for toolchain (gcc, glibc, binutils)
 + - hwaccel         : Force-enable hardware-accelerated rendering (Mozilla bug 594876)
 + - jack            : Add support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit
 - - lto             : Enable Link Time Optimization (LTO) - Uses BFD linker with GCC and LLD linker with Clang
 + - openh264        : Use media-libs/openh264 for H264 support instead of downloading binary blob from Mozilla at runtime
 - - pgo             : Add support for profile-guided optimization for faster binaries - this option will double the compile time
 + + pulseaudio      : Add support for PulseAudio sound server
 + + screencast      : Enable support for remote desktop and screen cast using media-video/pipewire
 - - sndio           : Enable support for the media-sound/sndio backend
 + - system-av1      : Use the system-wide media-libs/dav1d and media-libs/libaom library instead of bundled
 + - system-harfbuzz : Use the system-wide media-libs/harfbuzz and media-gfx/graphite2 instead of bundled
 + - system-icu      : Use the system-wide dev-libs/icu instead of bundled
 + - system-jpeg     : Use the system-wide media-libs/libjpeg-turbo instead of bundled
 + - system-libevent : Use the system-wide dev-libs/libevent instead of bundled
 + - system-libvpx   : Use the system-wide media-libs/libvpx instead of bundled
 - - system-png      : Use the system-wide media-libs/libpng instead of bundled (requires APNG patches)
 + - system-webp     : Use the system-wide media-libs/libwebp instead of bundled
 + + wayland         : Enable dev-libs/wayland backend

I didn't know gentoo ships firefox with a custom profile. Can you try emerging firefox-bin?
