FirefoxCP WebExtensions and FireFoxCP Isolated Web Content seem to cause my Mac's fans to spin crazily and are taking up the most resources by far. This happens most frequently on Hearst newspaper site and other heavy ad sites. I can turn off Enhance Tracking Protection which does not really seem to have an effect. I mean the fans will slow after about a minute or two and then start up again when I go do the next page. According to Mac Activity Monitor FirefoxCP WebExtensions will use up just over 2GB of memory and FireFoxCP Isolated Web Content will use just under 2GB of memory.
