I see a problem with Firefox on Slackware-current
The cpu use become very high(open 4 or 5 process with 30% of cpu)
,this happen when I use tabs and sometimes even with a single tab(single site).
This is the firefox when cpu is high
I have tried to disable ipv6 but nothing change.
Cpu become high, and system is really slow for a 10-15 seconds.
The command w report high load near 5.0
Anyone has same problem?

Try loading the browser in safe mode (without extensions).
Click ; "Help > Restart with addons disabled"
If the problem goes away then it's caused by one of your extensions.
I notice you are using adblock plus, i've read people have load issues with that previously. (not sure if it's the addon itself, or related to the number of subscribed filter lists you might have).
Have you tried another adblocker such as uBlock origin? People tend to notice better performance with that one.

I have removed some extensions and replaced adblock, now is ok
Dang I was going to say it might be Ad-blocker, if that's the one I think it HOGS ALL the power, I've no idea why but it never ran good for me even with 8GB ram. try Ublock origin runs great and you can add more filter lists that is missing that you run.
I've have similar issues with other extensions (Google disable autoplay from memory).
My day-to-day browser is now "Brave" - you might be interested in some of its in-built features.
