Firefox Slow Performance on JavaScript-Heavy Pages Compared to Chrome?

I've been noticing that Firefox tends to lag or become unresponsive on certain JavaScript-heavy websites, especially when handling dynamic input fields or real-time data validation. For example, when processing live input validation using JavaScript, Firefox seems to have a slight delay compared to Chrome, which handles the same script smoothly.

One case where this is noticeable is on websites that use real-time network detection based on mobile number prefixes. Has anyone else experienced similar slowdowns in Firefox when dealing with JavaScript-heavy form validation? Could this be related to Firefox’s rendering engine or specific security restrictions that affect JS execution speed?

True, if you check any javascript benchmark sites such as https://chromium.github.io/octane/ you'll get that chromium to be much more faster, any performance testing such as looping would get firefox on average much higher time to complete. i know this is a something that mozilla's already known problems to fix, but i do think all the roots of cause of slow performance of firefox are simply javascript's calculation.
