If temporarily disable some extensions, would be used to reduce firefox memory usage by it? Or after installation is complete, whether open or close these extensions , it all will consume memory.

This doesn't make any sense in English. What is your native language?

Disabled extensions shouldn't use extra memory, but most extensions don't use much memory anyway.

You can try to compare via the about:memory page (open that page via the location bar like a website).
