FF uses a lot of resources.

Firefox App responsiveness

Sometimes, for no apparent reason, on my Win 11 ASUS laptop, Firefox will suddenly use a lot of resources, such that the temperature jumps from about 50 degrees to 95 degrees and the fan runs full speed. It appears the only way to stop it, is to close FF then reopen. What might cause that?

I also have an unanswered previous question about being unable to pay accounts.

Cheers, Keith

Well it's just a "window" into your websites and extensions, so it's some of these that might be requiring such amount of resources. Check Fix Firefox using too much memory or CPU resources for the introduction, but generally the Task Manager - see whether tabs or extensions are slowing down Firefox documentation of about:processes will give you some tips what to look for.
