** Description changed:

  I have a couple of ThinkPads with old Intel GMA X4500 graphics. Since
- the update to Firefox 95, it's been verry laggy; especially noticeable
+ the update to Firefox 95, it's been very laggy; especially noticeable
  while scrolling, for instance on about:support.
  
  Strangely, the bug is less present when the browser window is smaller. A
  maximized window lags very badly, but when resizing the window to under
  ~75% of the screen, it becomes a lot better.
  
  I have tried completely clean profiles by renaming ~/snap/firefox, but
  this made no difference.
  
  I have a feeling that EGL has something to do with it. When I force the
  Firefox snap to run on Xwayland by running `WAYLAND_DISABLE=1 snap run
  firefox`, the bug is *not* present.
  
  When I run the Firefox 95 deb (from jammy) on Wayland, by running
  `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox`, the bug is also present. (When I run the
  deb without that environment variable, it falls back to Xwayland, which
  works normally.)
  
  However, when I set gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled to true in about:config,
  it also lags.
  
  One may assume that EGL is simply broken on this chipset, but that is
  not the case. When I run the Firefox *94* deb (from focal) with
  `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1`, it works fine. Also, when I run `snap revert
  firefox` to go back to 94.0.2-2, the bug is not present, even when
  running on Wayland, using EGL.
  
  I have tested the snap both on focal and jammy on the same hardware. The
  bug is identical in both cases.
  
- 
- tl;dr: On old Intel graphics Firefox 94 was working well with GLX and EGL, 
while EGL seems broken on Firefox 95.
