its very interesting. for the past week or so, there has been an extensive and detailed discussion on the Debian list about Firefox and its problems. Rather a shame really. Kare On Sun, 27 Oct 2024, Alvin Starr via talk wrote:

Firefox performance problems are usually opaque to me. I always have too many tabs open. I don't like any alternatives that I've found. Bookmarks have only gotten worse.
I can tell that Firefox is eating too much CPU when my computer's fan comes on (all performance problems on my desktop seem to be Firefox related). Finding the bad tab(s) isn't always easy.
I have noticed a similar situation with my browser of choice which is brave.
There are some sites that if the tab is left open will slowly ramp up in load on my system until I close them.
My feeling without any backing proof is that JS or other active site code is buggy and starts to burn up resources.
I have a client with a web application that some times generates high hundreds of requests a second to the server and since the JS is hard to debug the fix has been to reset the web server which causes the self inflicted DOS attack to stop.
I found that the bad tab was: <https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/10/finally-upgrading-from-isc-dhcp-server-to-isc-kea-for-my-homelab/> This is a topic that I want to study. Later. I had had it open for more than a week.
I noticed that article also and emailed it to myself.
