I've got to confess that my FF memory management is a run-as-needed-or-think-it-should-be-needed shell script which arbitrarily kills the top 10 Firefox processes by memory utilisation. If I'm leaving my desktop for a while I'll run that several times.
Tree-style Tabs keeps the slots open, and can reload tabs as needed.
I'd really like to have the capacity to unload all tabs other than, say, a specifically-specified set. Though on balance, the tabs that are likely to be most usefully kept open also tend to be the worst memory offenders.
If I fail to prune, MacOS falls over early and often, which is somewhat unpleasant.
I personally have been using "Auto Tab Discard" for years. It works perfectly for me, and you can set a group of tabs to not unload. It has a ton of options.
I have ~320 tabs open right now, for multiple projects and only ~5 are loaded.
