Just my troubleshooting tips:

Can you run a benchmark, maybe this one, so we can see it it's really a general thing not just something on that website? Also we can compare it to other computers, or you can see if changing a setting helps at all.

Can you see something strange in about:processes? Shift+Esc is its keyboard shortcut.

Why the benchmark is at 90fps? What happens if you lower your monitor refresh rate to 60?

I changed it via Debian's Settings app.

I'm using X11 and Gnome.
