It'd be nice to have Firefox immediately pause tracking content like Edge is will do in 91.

This month, sleeping tabs is further improved and with up to 82% memory savings based upon internal data collected on our preview builds. It does so by immediately putting ads to sleep when you put tabs in the background for instant resource savings.

As tracking content is already blocked in strict mode, ideally we would automatically pause tracking content that is still displayed once a user backgrounds a tab where tracking content is present.
