Does anyone have this issue were firefox becomes slow if left open for a long time. In my case after a couple of weeks rendering becomes slow and when I use youtube for example if is laggy, just trying to change volume taka few second to show the volume bar. It also happens to my laptop at work. I have around 30 tabs open.

Are we all going to ignore this person had Firefox open for weeks?

Why is that unusual? The only time I close apps is when I restart for an update like once or twice a month.

No of course not, sleep + hibernate after awhile in sleep mode is the default on windows.
