Firefox heavy spike and sometime freeze when PC is in high GPU usage

Hi

I'm an Computer Vision engineer and I migrated from Chrome recently.

The problem is, when I train a neural network and GPU utilization goes beyond 90% Firefox becomes unusable and sometime freeze my whole PC entirely.

I'm not even talking about YouTube or video sites, just new tab is enough to cause problem.

This never happen in Chrome and I'm forced to keep using it every time I need to use GPU.

Is there any tip for this?

Yeah, it doesn't help.

My problem is I still have more than enough CPU and RAM, just GPU that is used up.

Is it possible to have Firefox renders on CPU?

I called for more help.

Hi, is there any update?

I'm seriously fed up with Chr*me but still can't ditch it.
