I *do* understand exactly what "ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE" means. I chose
those words deliberately and with malice aforethought ...
There's nothing wrong with the computer, it's just old. I was using the
older version of Firefox because I didn't want all the added overhead
processing that comes with feature creep in the newer version.

One order of magnitude would be ten times slower. "Orders" plural means
at least two orders of magnitude or more than a hundred times slower.
Unless you're being figurative, there's something seriously wrong with
your computer that you need to diagnose. (Firefox has been roughly
speed-stable for me since 2.0, maybe even a bit faster over time, but
it's hard to separate out varying network effects.)
