Firefox gets EXTREMELY laggy the longer left on.

I rarely turn my laptop off, when I'm not using it I put it into sleep mode. Firefox absolutely hates this though, and after a few days it will slow to a torturous crawl. Everything becomes horribly irresponsive, feels like nails on a chalkboard. It can even get to the point where it will randomly delay my cursor in Windows 10 itself by 10 SECONDS along with some bleed into other programs while switching between them. Fully closing Firefox then re-opening it will reset the issue, starting the timer again, but I hate doing this because I have doing that set to log me out of various sites which I then have to re login to, letting the torture boil until I give in. This has been my Firefox experience on laptop for at least 5 years now. Other forks of Firefox have this same issue.
I am leaving Firefox in the torture state currently to troubleshoot here. Currently the memory usage on Firefox is 6GB at 54% of my total ram, which is being used at 84% total. Total CPU usage is 23%. Wrote this on my desktop for my sanity so that's why there's no troubleshooting information.
