It appears that using the VPN helps, but it's still a huge problem.
When im using firefox sometimes all the tabs I have open turn black and I have to restart the app to get them to work.

I was doing some work, when suddenly everything slowed, I checked my Activity Monitor, and it showed Firefox at nearly 20 Gigs of RAM & about 30% of CPU usage! I opened the Task Manager, and it only showed Firefox using 2 Gigs, and 25% of CPU. After a few minutes, the memory usage just as suddenly dropped down to the 2 Gigs as shown in Task Manager, and things seemed to be back to normal.
Why did this happen? I did nothing that would cause a spike, didn't open any new videos, or other high memory usage pages, or applications. I have seen FF showing a similar 20 Gigs of RAM usage, slowing everything down, several times recently, and wonder what could be causing these sudden spikes.

Hi there,
I am on a MacBook Air M3/8GB ram. I was really wanting to use Firefox due to your stance on privacy, etc. but here is my experience:
Yes, I keep a lot of tabs open - I do try to group them and hope that tabs in closed groups are deactivated, but I don't know this at all.
If I use Firefox all will seem well until my machine sleeps. On waking, it is excruciatingly slow - we are talking multiple seconds to even switch tabs or get the cursor to be "hot" when filling a form. Upon trying to quit (restarting being the usual first step), FF will ask confirmation and then close the windows, but will not completely quit, requiring me to force-quit. On restart it seems to behave again, at least for a while.
While I do see some evidence that others have this issue (memory leak?) there are no real methods or answers as to how, if at all, to fix this. It took a lot to get everything on FF working the way I like after leaving Chrome, but I really can't deal with this, and I think I will be looking at switching again - I guess to Safari.
I would love to know how to fix this, but really I don't imagine this is due to my system as much as the FF browser. That said, if you ahve any ideas, I would be open.
When accessing my WHICH account Firefox freezes. A message flashes on the toolbar STOP. I use NORD VPN. How do I correct the issue please

I get REAL tired by the amount of resources Firefox eats up with each open window. For whatever reason, having multiple windows open prevents Facebook from loading. I'll get 1 story and a "shorts" bar but THAT'S IT. Even clicking the story to rate or comment does nothing. If I start to delete windows; it will decrease the memory usage and then it will open.
However, I DO NOT WANT TO CLOSE MY WINDOWS IN ORDER TO OPEN FACEBOOK! Firefox should not be eating up that many resources. The open windows are of text and/or picture archives. There is no sound or video playing in the multiple windows open. My system literally has 128 gigs of ram memory so it seems very odd to me that Firefox is using between 11-13% with nothing running in the 15 windows I have open.
