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.

It doesn't. When you reset it, they take very little resources until you actually load them.

Most non-technical users do this and then complain to IT because their computer doesn't work well. That resource is wasted.
