I played same Youtube video on Firefox and on Edge and Firefox uses way more data(I/O write bytes) I/O writes and I/O Read bytes than Edge. I added the screenshot.

pm: I ran Firefox in Safe mode and with Sessionstore disabled . Some say it is because of History, but I dont want to delete it.

So unless it's making the computer slow that's the least of the worry.

I think better solution is to use Edge, I used Firefox for years, since my first pc, but this is to much.
