The main Firefox process handles the user interface, fetching web pages, decoding them, and some of the rendering work. The Web Content process(es) are fired off to run things that the web pages demand be run: JavaScript, CSS animations, weird media things. Mostly JavaScript. Killing them off won't help. You need to solve the underlying problem. I don't know what that is, exactly, but advertising and trackers now take up 90% of most web processing time and space. Running a good ad blocker like uBlock Origin will help a lot. -dsr-
