Firefox is killing my iMac

Power consumption of Firefox is so high that it nearly killed the display of my iMac. My screen started flickering with horizontal lines across the display. When i touched the screen, it was so hot that I could boil water using it. I did not realize that it was Firefox that was killing my PC until I looked at the power consumption (see the attached screenshot). I hope there is a solution to this since I really love Firefox and have been using it for well over a decade.
