Javascript is disabled for all background tabs, so they won't use
CPU
time anymore.
I always wondered why that sort of thing wasn't the default. Other
than
listening to some music being played from a backgrounded tab, you
can't
do much with a web page that you're not currently looking at. It
doesn't seem practical to let it suck up your CPU while you're trying
to
do other things.
Currently Firefox tabs are not separate processes. Mozilla has been
working on it for a while now but it will mean a change to the add-ons
system. See http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/mozil

Why not use multithreading to take care of all tabs?
That way we could actually find out which FF thread(s)
is (are) sucking up so much cpu?
