Hi there, I have been using Firefox since a long time with these extensions. Do you think if any of those are redundant? Why I ask this is that while using Outlook in Firefox, it's consuming around 1.7 GB of RAM. I don't think it should be using this much amount of RAM for just a single tab of Outlook. Edit: I already use uBlock Origin, but it's not present in the attached pic.

uBlock Origin should already remove cookies notice from sites, so I think "I still don't care aboht cookies" could be deleted. But that 1.7GB of RAM usage is probably not because of that addon.

Most of other addons I see should be domain specific, so they should not run on outlook for example.

Maybe on outlook page there is so much bloat that uBlock Origin blocks, which increases ram usage. Try taking a look at what uBlock is doing and maybe change its filters.

Edit: Knowing Microsoft tactics, try also changing useragent to Microsoft Edge, maybe they will be easier on usage.
