When I use Zen Browser, I experience excessive RAM consumption and my computer’s fan spins loudly. In simple terms, the browser uses far more memory (RAM) than expected, which causes the CPU to work harder. As a result, the system heats up, and the fan kicks into high gear to cool the system. For example, while other browsers like Chrome or Firefox run smoothly without noticeable slowdowns, Zen Browser’s memory usage quickly jumps to several gigabytes even with only a few tabs open. This puts a strain on system performance and battery life (for laptops).

From what i understand, Zen browser was not developed by mozilla, but by the Zen browser dev team.
Despite being a fork of the firefox browser, i don't think it has anything to do with the firefox dev team.
TLDR, this is probably not the correct place to post your grievances about the zen browser.
