Nope! Not happening or at least not soon enough. Neither on macOS or Linux (can't speak for the stupid platform).
Firefox will happily keep tabs open, even if macOS reports major memory pressure or Linux needs to invoke the OOM killer because it's Gigabytes into swap.
Not to speak of what happens before memory pressure is reached; Firefox will also happily use all of your memory even if you'd rather have it free for something else you're going to do next.
