This is not normal behaviour. I've never had Firefox do that, even with a whole bunch of extensions, on Windows, Linux or Mac, over the past 10+ years.
It did used to run out of memory for images, and the UI of Firefox (and just Firefox) would sometimes pause, but those issues are a couple of years back now.
I'd dig deeper. There's something odd in your machine configuration.

- joedevon 7y agoI have a lot more problems with Chrome than Firefox in the last year or two. FWIW.
