I tried very hard today to get FF into the condition you're reporting and could not. I went on eBay, YouTube, CNN, mlb.com, NYtimes and a whole bunch of other places. I had 8 tabs open including Facebook and G+. No issues. But, I also don't have any addons or extensions to firefox since that isn't my browser of choice.
My FF session usually has 100+ tabs open. Sometimes I do get issues, but with sites with lots of scripts doing "smart" things. FF usually prompts in such cases to stop the script.
I sometimes go beyond 300 tabs, approaching 500.
This abandoned extension is incredibly useful:

Javascript is disabled for all background tabs, so they won't use CPU time anymore.
This looks interesting. I'll try it out.
Cheers,
