The same happens for me in Chrome. Twitter is the issue, not your browser.

Chrome tabs each have their own process though, so then wouldn't your problem be your PC?

Sure. But if three instances of a website can bring a fairly new machine to its knees, then there's nothing any browser could reasonably do to fix Twitter's massive JS bloat.

In my case, FF uses well less than 10% of CPU, yet the browser is extremely unresponsive. So no, it's not the machine, it is FF.
