Why Does Firefox Sometimes Use More RAM When Multiple Tabs Are Open?

I've noticed that Firefox can sometimes consume a significant amount of RAM when I have multiple tabs open, especially when browsing websites with images, videos, and other media. I would like to understand: * Does Firefox handle memory differently compared to other browsers? * Which built-in Firefox settings can help reduce memory usage? * Does enabling or disabling hardware acceleration make a difference? Is there a recommended way to identify which tabs or extensions are consuming the most memory? I'd appreciate any practical tips or recommended settings to improve Firefox's performance without affecting the browsing experience.
