They have a years old bug they can't / won't fix that causes stock Firefox to be at 100% CPU constantly, regardless of what you are running.
I finally switched to Brave and amazingly, it manages to run basic websites at minimal CPU. And it isn't like I am running some rinky-dink computer. I have 32GB of RAM and a Ryzen 9 3900x.
EDIT: Single tab of the front page of reddit, no add-ons, nothing loading, Firefox goes between 7% and 21% CPU. Meanwhile I have 20 tabs open in Brave and it is sipping between 0.7% - 3%.
