I have LXLE Posh on an old Dell 1150 with an adequate 2.33G CPU and you are correct that Firefox uses more CPU in LXLE than it does in Linux Lite. It is something I am looking into, and is probably because of the modified Open Box desktop that is used by their system, and the amount of desktop options that Firefox is configured to, and the Sea Monkey build that they use as default. I have gotten it to work a little better lately, with some Debian updates and changes, but Firefox is an issue in LXLE on old hardware. LL on the other hand uses XFCE base, and Firefox is more efficient. LL is a solid simple distro and may be the easiest to use of all the distros for windows converts. If you are new to Linux you will enjoy LL more than LXLE, and this is a terrific and very accessible forum. One of the better ones.
