This seems to be epidemic in browsers. If you use chrome for a while you'll see it there too.
I've had similar experiences. Having 50 or more open tabs in several tab groups. When you look at the ps output next time notices FFs memory usage. I noticed it tends to use more and more memory over time and a a certain point it just becomes slow. Therefor I just quit FF overy couple of days and restart it.
I suspect this is due to badly written javascript on pages that just gobbles up resources. In chrome I press SHIFT-ESC to get the task manager open. Sometimes I find a tab that is using way too much CPU and or memory and I can kill it.
