My GPU fan starts spinning(around 1000-1200RPM - yes I can hear it) when I'm watching a YouTube video only after i close a video game. This only happens in Firefox. Chrome, Edge and Opera stay at around 800RPM. I've tried everything: fresh install, deleted everything; went as far as deleting my Firefox Sync account.

Maybe that video game is very graphic-intensive and you need to wait a little bit for enough RAM to get released.

Check : Go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Help ? --> Troubleshooting Information Page and take a look in the Accessibility section if accessibility is set to "true" there. if yes, go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser. Restart Firefox

Yes, this was very helpful. UblockOrigin is causing my GPU's weird behavior. Thanks.
