Firefox Browser demanding a lot of my GPU where it didn't use to.

I've noticed my GPU fan runs heavily as soon as I open Firefox, and with even just only one browser page open, it runs high speed, where it didn't use to do this. How can I get Firefox from requiring so much of my power. I don't want my electric bill higher just because of a browser. I have a decent GPU good for gaming quality that usually doesn't get clocked enough to cause the fan to turn on and run at high speed unless it's a high-graphics computer game or something. Anything I can do to make the browser demand less on my GPU?
