Firefox: constant freezes for the last 2 months?

I found that after a certain amount of tabs, the browser starts to freeze periodically for 2-10 seconds, and constantly. Sometimes it starts as early as an hour after the restart.
There are few tabs open (about 10), top-end hardware, the process manager almost always shows 2GB of memory for its process.
I haven't installed any new browser addons.
How can this behavior be cured?

Updated Firefox to 64bit version. She only recently appeared on the main page of downloads, six months ago she was not.
Just in case, I disabled async pan zoom.
In general, now Firefox eats up to 5GB of RAM, but does not freeze. Previously, the friezes were after 2GB.
I think that's the point.

It was in chrome. The AdBlock plugin turned out to be the culprit.

I recently asked a question: Firefox 51 slows down for everyone?
After the reboot, the constant lags seem to have almost disappeared.
But there was such a joke: at some point, at the opening of the next site, the browser freezes. It hangs somehow half: in the task manager it says that it is working, but the CPU load is constant, there is a huge delay on clicks on tabs, but it reacts. One gets the impression that he will now think and droop, but it is deceptive - now he will hang like this indefinitely. Just bang the task and start again.
This happens about 1-2 times a day.
I did not follow clear patterns, but it seems that one of the aggravating circumstances is video.

One reason could be bookmark sync.

Rearrange the browser and check the computer with an antivirus.
Should help.
PS: This is not a problem of plugins, but of stuck events in JS: connections and timers.
Tweaked async, including crash time - much better:

No, it's a feature of FF. It steadily eats away 1.2 gigs of memory for me, though there are not counted bookmarks, much more than 20. AdBlock, NoScript and a bunch of plugins are worth it, but I also didn’t set anything for a long time
