Firefox becomes less responsive after extended browsing sessions across multiple tabs

more options

I’ve been using Firefox regularly and overall the experience has been positive, but I’ve noticed a pattern during longer browsing sessions that I’m trying to understand better. When multiple tabs are opened and I switch between them frequently over time, Firefox sometimes becomes less responsive. Pages may take longer to load, scrolling feels delayed, and opening previously loaded tabs isn’t as smooth as it was at the start of the session.

What makes this a bit confusing is that system resources don’t appear to spike significantly, and the slowdown seems gradual rather than immediate. Restarting the browser usually restores normal performance, which makes me wonder if this is related to session handling, memory cleanup, or how background tabs are managed over time.

I’m not necessarily looking for a quick fix, but rather trying to understand whether this behavior is expected and if there are recommended settings or habits that help maintain performance during longer sessions. If others have noticed similar behavior or have insights into how Firefox manages extended tab usage, I’d really appreciate learning from your experience.
