You could try this please : Go the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.

Note : Acceleration is for your Video Card, monitor to see if need to turn back on. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings

There is nothing against using only one content process versus multiple content processes in case of performance issues. Only if you completely disable multi-process then there isn't a separate content process and a crash in a tab will take down Firefox or the user interface will respond slower.
