ok. and, you need to watch for rabbit droppings. :-D
seriously, you would do well to check fans for build up every
few months. dust/lint on fans and heat sinks should not be
allowed to accumulate.
watching with "sensors", make a note of cpu temp and fans rpms
with firefox loaded and unloaded when fans and sinks are clean.
then make notes every 2 weeks as dust/lint builds. you will see
a notable increase by 2 months.
if you keep a box on floor, cleaning should be done even more
often.

matters little. for desktops with variable speed fans, cpu
heating and fan speed up still applies with firefox.
and again, watching "top", you will/may/should see a relation
to fan speed and cpu usage when running firefox.
i do not see it as a noticeable amount on my boxes for several
reasons;
1- i mount power supply fan to exhaust flow from supply
2- i mount box fan to draw fresh air in.
3- on a couple of boxes, i leave side cover off for
max air flow.
