Does anyone have this issue were firefox becomes slow if left open for a long time. In my case after a couple of weeks rendering becomes slow and when I use youtube for example if is laggy, just trying to change volume taka few second to show the volume bar. It also happens to my laptop at work. I have around 30 tabs open.

I had the same problem recently. Especially the youtube UI became very unresponsive and would take several seconds to respond. I have 96G ram...

I downloaded ESR instead. So far so good.
