Latest Firefox causing computer to hang

Since the last Firefox update, my computer's speed has become terrible, every attempt at opening/closing tabs takes absolutely ages. Eventually today I opened Task Manager to see the Firefox is hogging memory hugely, and even got a message suggesting I close Firefox because it was causing my computer to operate slowly. I eventually managed to close it, switched to MS Edge, and everything went back to normal. Anyone have any idea what is happening here?!
