There are other adblockers that claim to use less memory than ABP, like µBlock Origin, Bluhell Firewall, etc. You should be able to find many options on addons.mozilla.org. They're not developed by any of the team here, so we can't endorse them, but you might find them useful.

I was hoping that i can use Noscript to block ads too. I was using Adblock Plus from long time but it makes Firefox use lot of memory. I installed Noscript and disabled Adblock Plus and i have noticed that Firefox uses a lot less memory this way. But i guess i will need adblocker addon anyway.

Because NoScript is not an adblocker. Any adblocking it does is purely a side-effect of its security model. It's trivial to make ad that circumvents NoScript.

This is also a job for other extension :arrow: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21997&p=83457#p83463

NoScript doesn't seem to block every time google ads on youtube.com even so i forbid all these domains. Why is that? How to make it block the ads?

Youtube needs also ytimg.com and googlevideo.com to be Allowed in NoScript in order for videos to play. You should see ytimg.com in the NoScript menu, and after Allowing that you'll then see googlevideo.com

I added only youtube.com manually from the options window but i didn't know that a site is added automatically to the whitelist when you choose allow youtube.com from the toolbar button. So, i allowed youtube.com from the toolbar button and then forbid some domains to hide the ads, like: content.googleapis.com, doubleclick.net, googlesyndication.com, gstatic.com, googletagservices.com.
