I have heard people claim the opposite: that Chrome is the memory hog and Firefox is much leaner. I think it’s probably dependent upon usage patterns, OS and extensions.
But I think the biggest problem with Firefox is Mozilla itself. I’d love to see a group with some actual backing behind them fork Firefox and make a proper competitor unaffected by Mozilla’s poor decision-making.
Weird. I've got two Firefox instances, from two different user accounts, opened at all times. Tens of tabs in each. I know some people do hundreds of tabs. I've got zero issue. I've got chromium too but typically I use Firefox.
My only hack is I wrap Firefox with a TCP_NO_DELAY lib: probably cargo culting a bit but I do feel it's even snappier that way.
P.S: main desktop is an AMD 7700X with only 32 GB of RAM. Nothing crazy.

Mozilla sucks, and sucks since a decade at least now. But Firefox... no complains at all.
Nowadays you have to use a fork like Libreworlf. But same with Chrome, you use ungoogled forks.
