I'm having issues with Google Apps and Firefox. Chrome users don't have a problem w/G-Apps? Anyone else?

My company uses Google Apps. Using the Mail, Calendar, Drive, and other apps in the Google Suite consumes a ton of resources in Firefox, as reported by "about:performance". To the point that a 4 day restart of Firefox is necessary to speed things up. Google Chrome users don't seem to have this issue. I suspect a Google Conspiracy. ;-) Has this been seen elsewhere? I'm using a Mac and a Windows 10 device at work with the same issue. Both Firefox and the respective OSes are up to date. I do have a lot of browser windows open to a lot of different network and system apps, but about:performance shows the Google Suite, especially Mail and Calendar being the culprits.

Gmail surely does use a lot of memory. So do the blocking addons. Does it use less in Chrome?

The more mail displayed at once in a folder, the more memory used. Since i bumped it up to 100 per screen, the memory usage certainly increased. The "energy Impact" is also high, but chills way down once the tab is left alone for a bit.

Honestly i have never left any browser open for days with heavy use, they seem to gag after a while. But then i never had a particularly good machine, either, so that may mean little.

Had you tried simply closing the Mail and Calendar tabs occasionally, or killing their respective processes? It may be better than a restart if you have a lot of tabs open. Other browser windows are running their own parent process, so they shouldn't matter, really.
