Mozilla Firefox is a widely used browser across all platforms. It offers very convenient browsing for users along with add-ons support. Have you ever felt slow down of the Firefox when multiple tabs open? You can speed up Firefox using various ways but if you frequently face the slow down issue while many tabs open it means some of the tabs are causing slow down.
The slow down or lagging of the Firefox is mainly due to the Javascript use; many sites use Javascript for running their website. But in some cases, Javascript eats most of the memory available in the machine and causes the slow down. I’m not suggesting you increase your machine RAM, by following few steps you will know which Tab is consuming most of the RAM. Later you can decide to proceed or kill that particular Tab to free up the browser.
To know which Tab is consuming more RAM you have to install Tab Data extension from addon store.
