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.

You should try that nightly build for troubleshooting purposes

Also, because it forces you to restart the browser every night.

Have you tested with specific websites? Could it be a tab has some have JavaScript running constantly that’s causing the issue?
