Firefox in general uses a lot of CPU but when I watch youtube video in private window, the CPU usage goes to 100%. Why does it use so much CPU? I am using the latest version.

What are you working with? see screenshot Show the issue. What video are you watching and what resolution? Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode
