Firefox 54.0, 4 tabs open, all add-ons disabled, using 1013MB memory.
Firefox 54 is consuming a tremendous amount of memory. I have 4 open tabs, all add-ons disabled and am using 1013MB of memory. Performance has become exceptionally slow with frequent "Not Responding" conditions. I have read many of the suggestions but they do not seem to fit my situation. I have also tried restarting frequently but memory use increases dramatically each time.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
