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.

If it's related to the thread you posted then try Nightly?

That's only in Nightly right now, unfortunately; it won't make it out to Release until v134.

Also, can I ask why you'd leave your browser open for weeks? Just curious of the use case. The thread mentions having 5700-7000 open tabs, and I can't fathom why someone would do that. It's not like the websites disappear if you close the tab. Nothing to do with the problem though, you don't have to answer.

I only have around 30 open and I don't turn off the laptop, after a while firefox becomes sluggish and I have to restart it.

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

I haven't tested it at my home laptops, but my work laptop all tabs become slow. I have to restart it every time.
