WebGL performance degraded in Firefox, works well under Chromium


I recently decided to play around with Mozilla Hubs and see how the project developed. Amazing stuff by the way... if anyone's into virtual worlds (like Second Life) I recommend giving it a try.

It helped me discover a strange issue: Under Firefox my WebGL performance is horrible, I can only reach 40 FPS usually even less. Under Chromium however, I constantly get the full 144 FPS supported by my 144 Hz monitor. Something is HEAVILY degrading my WebGL performance under Firefox, but that something doesn't seem to affect Chromium at all... since FF is my main browser I'd really like to figure out what it is and how to fix it. I already looked at the problem with a Hubs developer on their Discord server last week, but they couldn't find an answer based on the data they suggested I provide which they said appears in order. What do you suggest I look for?

The general info: My OS is openSUSE Tumbleweed x64 KDE, Firefox is installed from its system packages so it's always the latest version available. I have an AMD card so I'm using the amdgpu module, once more the one preinstalled by the distro (no custom drivers). Here's the output of my about:support page from Firefox: https://pastebin.com/qV62xsQ6

Probably a plug-in or other add-on in Firefox, would be my guess.
