Dear Long Wind:
Usually I don't reply AOL but in this case I second that.
I'm an unhappy Firefox-user on Debian and am looking for alternatives.
Yes, I do have many tabs open, 'cause I need them. I got plenty of memory but
Firefox does not seem to use it efficiently.

I cannot second this behaviour. Do you use some or many extensions? Maybe
legacy add-ons?
What about scripting on those pages? Here often enough scripts are stopped.

Often 1 cpu of 4 is 100% in use without anything happening.

Same here. Modern browsers are such a conglomerate of code that describing a
problem is very difficult or impossible, even less pinning it down, not to
mention debugging it.
Unfortunately I also was never happy with Safari on OSX nor with IE or later
with Edge on Win7 or 10 when I was compelled to use it.
My use of Firefox on OSX or Win10 is not as intense as on Linux so I cannot
directly compare the OSes in this respect. As a consequence I shall not throw
blame on the OS.
Life is too short for browsers.
Cheers,
Eike
