What this usually means is that the system is loading too much (unnecessary!) software with system boot. Have you ever run "msconfig" to see what is starting up -- and if it needs to?
Also be sure to reboot from time to time, because all computers have "memory leaks" and bog down over time. I have to reboot mine every few weeks.
New computers can help, but not always.
The biggest way to "fix" slowdowns in recent years it migrate to SSD from HDD. That can speed up your tasks quite a bit, even more than a new CPU and gobs of RAM.
The other issue is that Firefox has gotten piggier over the years. Sites have also gotten to be ridiculous at times, wanting to transfer over massive amounts of ads and scripts. I've seen webpages that are 10mb, and that will load REALLY slow on all but the fastest of internet connections (which most Americans don't have access to!)
All of these things add up, and can make using a computer miserable.
