When I start Firefox (Or Librewolf) they start lagging a lot in start but with time they start responding smoothly (in like 3to5 minutes).What could be problem? How to fix that?

Edit : Do not know how but it is working now. Edit2 : Experiencing Same issue again 😞 !!

I have 128GB SSD and my system is installed on it. 2 gb ram and core2duo (It was working fine on it). Issue is on all gecko browsers and not on any other.

A core2duo is a pretty old CPU (16 years old). Maybe its just the rest of the world moved on? Modern websites are much heavier than they used to be. Additionally you aren't going to be able to do video playback without a newer GPU. The older Intel only supports old encodings. Also gnome takes about 1.2gb which is most of your ram. You are probably swapping like crazy.

It sounds like this is just an issue of dated hardware.
