I see similar behaviour (using EXWM in Emacs as my window manager).  I
don't have a solution beyond what I do: kill and restart Firefox
periodically.

Alternative browsers either don't cater to all the needs or are just as
bad (or worse, especially in terms of tracking etc.).

However, what depresses me is the number of responses suggesting
increasing memory etc.  It's a sad state of affairs we have reached
where simple web browsing (and it *should* be simple) requires such
significant resources.  Even banking should not lead to lag in window
management.
