User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

A little background;

I am using Firefox on my laptop along with Chrome and Windows Edge. My laptop has 8 GB RAM with powerful CPU.

I normally use all 3 browsers at the same time

Actual results:

When I open too many tabs on Firefox, it slows down and says something is slowing down your system and give me two options. I choose to close its thread. Sometimes it works and kill slow thread, sometime not.

Expected results:

In short, when I open many tabs, Firefox either freezes or slows down in a way that I can not use it. I suspect the following would be issue:

1- too many cookies or plugin installed?

2- Other web browsers are running on my Widows 10 at the same time?

3- There might be a clash among installed plugin

4- it might be a bug

Also, I do not like third-party plugin and I do not install them. So can they install themselves without my consent...

Best,

Hi Matt,

Thanks for submitting this bug to us. I've tried to reproduce it using Firefox 71.0a1 (2019-10-07) (64-bit) and Firefox 69.0.2 (64-bit) and I wasn't able to reproduce it

I've opened up 342 tabs (wikipedia, amazon, youtube) and everything worked fine.

Does this issue occur with a fresh profile? You can find the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Managing-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager

Can you please download Firefox Nightly from here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/ and retest the problem and see if the issue still occurs there as well?

If after doing this you can still reproduce the bug, could you send me a screenshot or a video of the bug? That always helps a lot.

Thanks!

Sebastian

I'm marking this as Resolved-Incomplete due to lack of response. If the issue is still reproducible with the latest Firefox version, feel free to reopen the bug with more information.
