How can I go directly from the about:processes page to the displayed CPU hogging tab?

Firefox Tabs

I have lots (~100) of tabs open, distributed among windows and virtual desktops. Every now and then the laptop fan starts running wildly, and I identify a CPU hogging webpage in about:processes. How can I now switch to the open window/tab of that webpage to close or unload it? I would expect a click (or context menu item) within about:processes to bring me there. Currently I have to scan through all desktops/windows/tabs to find the page.

I know it's not a perfect solution, but could you use Firefox View (you may have to add it to your toolbar) to search for the title shown?

Firefox View - Access pages from open tabs, recently closed tabs, tabs from other devices and browsing history

That's a good hint, thank you Isaac! But even better, I now see that about:processes has got (at least) two different rows: hostname rows that give a memory and CPU sum for that hostname, and tab rows (grouped together per hostname), that can be double klicked to switch to that tab!

This is what I was looking for! I only wonder why the CPU number isn't given directly per tab.
