I don't know if this is normal in Firefox but when watching a video on YouTube the GPU usage of the window manager process goes from 0% to using 1/4 to a half of the available resources of the GPU(using Windows 10), this affects me a lot because I use a laptop and the battery discharges faster than normal, while in other browsers it has a more moderate use of the GPU watching the same video at the same resolution

Hola, Todo lo que es video usará la GPU en lugar del CPU, un uso de 25% al 50% (que serán picos no constante) dependerá de la placa de video que tengas y de la resolución o calidad del video que esta mirando, 25% me parece algo normal. Puedes probar como se comporta creando un perfil nuevo de Firefox y sin hacer cambios de configuración o ni agregar complementos: http://mzl.la/1BAQGnB Saludos
