Xubuntu 16G

Waterfox (latest) 10 tabs open-only 1 active (YouTube)
Occasionally the YT tab will hit 300+ cpu. Cannot force it and doesn't happen reliably. All other tabs work except anything involving network.

When I kill the process everything is normal and Waterfox offers to re-open the tab.

Is this a common thing or do I need to go back to FF?


P.S. Proton has a free VPN extension available for FF (and WF)
