After some time of inactivity firefox starts offloading its ram continent to paging file, this results in firefox not responding until it load it's continents back from paging file to ram (usually takes up to a minute). How do I turn off paging file use? (I can't turn off paging file entirely due to other programs).

Firefox can't control that.
It is the Windows Operating System that decides which memory pages to swap to disk t make room for other programs.

If it happens that often then it sounds that you do not have enough memory installed or try to run too many programs simultaneously and Windows runs out of memory.
