Hello all! Firefox seems to be eating up more RAM and CPU than it normally should be. (EG: It uses 30-50% CPU while on YouTube and other websites)

Could this be a RAM error in Firefox?

I don't know, I'm no app developer. Any help is appreciated!

My computer is a 2014 Dell XPS 12 with a Core i5 4200U with 4GB of RAM.
