When I visit a website like Imgur.com with Firefox in a few minutes the fans turn on: my MacbookPro early 2015 with 16GB internal memory is getting very hot. Visiting the same website with Vivaldi: no problems with a rising temperature. Why is FF causing a rising temperature?

You can check the Firefox Task Manager (about:performance) for details about relative CPU usage of each tab.

Thanks for your reaction but Task Manager tells something I know: Imgur.com causes een high to average energy impact and than the fan begins to blow. But what I do not understand is why this only happens in Firefox and not in in Vivaldi, Chrome, Brave, Safari and Opera (I tried and compared all of them).
