The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Performance' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hey reporter, it's not clear to us how you get the problem.
Can you please explain if this happens at the first page or after a long time of browsing?
Also we don't see anything suspicious on the about:memory dump that you shared.
Therefore, could you make sure the following information is on this bug?
- For slowness or high CPU usage, capture a profile with http://profiler.firefox.com/ , upload it and share the link here. You can find some more information about how to do that in https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/performance/reporting_a_performance_problem.html.
- For memory usage issues, capture a memory dump from about:memory and attach it to this bug.
- Troubleshooting information: Go to about:support, click "Copy raw data to clipboard", paste it into a file, save it, and attach the file here.
If the problem happens only after some time, you can try to get a profile or about:memory dump before firefox hangs completely.
Thank you.
