Firefox isn't with useful tool, which is tabs suspender, it saves of much hardware consume and doesn't allow your PC stay slowness and/or your own internet, because tabs can consume internet and recourses in background without you use it, so that's important and should be in all popular browsers including Firefox. I recommend they base on auto tab discard and possibly performance tool (by Microsoft Edge), because auto tab discard extension is really complete and very useful, mainly it saves where you stop on certain time video and performance tool saves much your recourses on your computer and is very efficient:

Making moves

@ssssaaaaaaa I completely agree. The UX sucks for many people. Although it would be nice if Frontend devs became more mindful of the impact of JS frameworks and how they use them. And what impact this has in real use.

Also the oodles of scripts people add that poll and run background processes in the browser. Here's looking at you Google Analytics & Facebook.

Just because 1 site does not saturate the machine does not mean when several tabs are used together that most machines cope well.

In the last 20 odd years moving from static (early web days) to reactive sites means I need 6-10GB or Ram to run a browser v.s. 500mb-1Gb to run the entire machine with Ram to spare. Back then I could surf the web 100 tabs wide on 1Gb of Ram. What a contrast.

The conveniences we've added in software on many levels is having a huge knock on effect on how much Ram we need.  Thankfully Ram is getting cheaper but it's fairly hard even now for the average person to have more than 16Gb of Ram on Laptops. So power users are out of luck unless they buy the most expensive lines. And that counts even for Apple who seem to starve their line-up by touting 16Gb is enough for anyone. 

Starting to sound familiar like earlier in the DOS days when it was said that 2mb of Ram would be more than anyone would need in their lifetime. They had not considered OS and Software bloat yet.
