I am not supporting the snap stuff, but, I wonder, with the difference 
in performance between the laptop and the desktop, what are the 
differences in the configurations of the laptop and the desktop; both 
the hardware, and, any plugins/extensions installed, on each system.

I am inclined to avoid using a computer with less than 16GB RAM, 
nowadays, due to the increasing demands for resources.

Conspicuously, you did not include the hardware configurations for the 
laptop and the desktop.

At present, I am using an i7 CPU with 16GB RAM, for my lesser system, a 
laptop with a Xeon CPU and 32 GB RAM, for another system, and, a desktop 
with a Xeon CPU and 128GB RAM, as my primary system. Each of those, 
includes nVIDIA GPU's. I also run a desktop with an i3 CPU, and 32GB 
RAM, for even lesser tasks, which I do not boot so often.

And, I have multiple plugins/extensions installed in Firefox, and, in 
Pale Moon, a couple of plugins and extensions, and, in SeaMonkey, a 
number of plugins/extensions.

On the i7 system, I run all three web browsers, with multiple windows 
open, concurrently; on the laptop, I run Pale Moon and Firefox, 
concurrently, and, on the system with 128GB RAM, I run (at present, and, 
recently) only Firefox (of the web browsers), in addition to other 
non-web browser applications, and, I run something like 160-190 browser 
windows open concurrently in Firefox.

So, I suggest that it comes down to the question of the configurations 
of the two systems that you are comparing; both the hardware 
configurations, and, the plugins/extensions that you have installed in 
Firefox, on each system.

Then, there is also te question of whether you are accessing different 
web sites and web applications, with different Internet pathways, on the 
two different systems.

I sometimes get data transmission speeds of less than 100 bytes per 
second, and, sometimes, 7MB per second, depending on the web site that I 
am accessing. Australia is less advanced than the USA, in terms of 
Internet data transmission speeds - here, 50MB/s is above average and 
unusually good.

And, some web sites are so full of s***, that they time out, from time 
to time. Especially, Australian government web sites (no doubt, with 
surveillance software built in "We are watching you and wherever you go 
on the World Wide Web"), that are designed to be obstructive, including 
the feral government weather bureau web site, that blocks public access 
to forecasts and warnings related to dangerous weather.
