Does anyone have this issue were firefox becomes slow if left open for a long time. In my case after a couple of weeks rendering becomes slow and when I use youtube for example if is laggy, just trying to change volume taka few second to show the volume bar. It also happens to my laptop at work. I have around 30 tabs open.

To conserve resources / power? Like when I'm done using an app, I close it. When I'm done reading a website or using online banking, I close it. I don't leave my email, games or music open after I'm doing using them either. I actually turn off / sleep my entire device when I'm done using it, but that's not what my curiosity is about.

Sure. Personally I just close the tabs, tho.
