Firefox has become an intense RAM resource hog...

[Rosewood_Arts]

Has anyone noticed the increased resources Firefox 132.0.1 uses as reported by Task Manager?  No other process even approaches what Firefox now demands.  Firefox is routinely using 50-100% more RAM (>800MB) than Edge (500MB) and it causes my desktop computer fans to rev.  My laptop slows to a painful crawl when I open Firefox now.  Shutdown Firefox and both simmer right down.  What's going on?

Yes!!!!!!!! It is becoming worse and worse.

I'm here for obviously the same reason. I suddenly saw my M3 iMac breaching the 100% CPU usage and everything froze. Turned out it was Firefox. WTF.

Yes, same experience here. Current installed version - Firefox v.133 is still using HUGE amounts of RAM....example: right now the ONLY page I have open is this one. It's using 911mb of RAM!!!! Why?!!? Firefox has been slowing down since updating to v.132. I have tried every "trick" to improve performance, NOTHING WORKS.  Please, Firefox team, HELP!! Thank you!

Not only is it eating up a ton of RAM, the latest update is awful! web pages that used to load instantly or in a second i am now waiting MINUTES to load. it's like my internet reverted to freaking DIAL UP! they need to be making it LEANER, not bloating the crap out of it!
