It's weird, I keep seeing people complain about the memory usage and it being slow, but I've literally never experienced any of these kinds of issues, and I have 80 tabs open right now. Are you using some weird plugin or what?

It is dependent on machine, OS and what plugins are installed.

I'm fairly certain I used to have hundreds of tabs open back in the old Firefox with even less lag than I see today.

I'm pretty sure it depends a lot on profile cruft too.
I do have a bunch of plugins installed, is there any way to profile them and see if any of them are the culprit? (Ubuntu 18.04)
