I have a similar problem with some of my older laptops. I have switched
to Vivaldi (based on chromium), and that has reduced the problem
considerably. Firefox is a resource hog.
Q520 is not a week/old machine it is i5 cpu
I think you have unrealistic expectations.
This unit has 4th gen 2 core CPU rated at 35W TDP. [1] Which is not as
efficient as modern CPUs and don't have the ability to step-down to
low-frequency (under 1GHz) modes.
Turbo Boost doesn't count in the TDP rating and it makes this mini-PC to
generate even more heat.
That amount of heat has to be dissipated with super small heatsink and
cooling fan. [2]
Keep in mind, that fan also has to cool down every other part of this
mini-PC, like ICH, RAM, HDD and power circuit components.
No wonder it struggles to keep up and produce so much noise.
Put this mini-PC under any, not just Firefox, multi-threaded workload
and you will have the same outcome.
