any ideas? Not exactly millions of tabs open - have followed the guide on this website, but none of the actions seem to help.

Thanks for reaching out.

It seems that FF might be doing some background processes in your device or you might just be running out of RAM. I opened Firefox on my older (2009 model, 2GB RAM) PC, with half a dozen tabs running, it occupies only 12% of the memory.

Possible fixes: 1. Check your FF settings for unwanted permissions etc. 2. There might be a hardware issue that needs a professional look. 3. If it's not too hard, reinstall FF on your device.
