I do tend to keep a lot of tabs open.
Yes, try freezing Firefox and see if those DEACTIVATEs stop. I use this script when I need to save laptop battery, it might come handy here: : killall -STOP firefox killall -STOP Isolated\ Web\ Con killall -STOP Isolated\ Service killall -STOP Privileged\ Cont killall -STOP WebExtensions killall -STOP Web\ Content echo press enter to resume read dummy killall -CONT Web\ Content killall -CONT WebExtensions killall -CONT Privileged\ Cont killall -CONT Isolated\ Service killall -CONT Isolated\ Web\ Con killall -CONT firefox BTW, if you keep many tabs open, I can recommend the Auto Tab Discard extension! > If you think the log may contain more useful information, I'm happy to > attach it.
