Firefox on Windows 11 now runs at 100% and a stack of ram. Obviously this slows down my PC and this is only on the home page with nothing to look at. This makes it unuseable. Tried help pages - no use at all. Why am I asking an unknown instead of Mozilla? To big for their boots?

I agree, that's ridiculous. It may help to opt out of the fission experiment. Change the following preference to false in about:config and restart the browser. fission.autostart
