I went on facebook on the safari it says This webpage is using significant memory. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac. I need more memory or not! Thank You!
If I may make a suggestion, you might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.

When this happens, everything slows down on Facebook, I can't comment on anything or post. Nothing happens. I don't know what to do.
Oddly enough, on a second account I have with Facebook, everything works just fine. But never use that account and don't want to use that account.
I use Safari.
The reply from Stuart423 below is inaccurate.
The message reads: “This webpage is using significant memory. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac.” That means that the webpage is using a lot of memory, and as you have seen, everything slows down. Just because one account performs differently from another account you cannot draw the conclusion that all accounts will perform the same way.
Actually, the reply from Stuart423 is spot on. Prove otherwise.
Just because you don't understand the answer does not make it any less true.
Facebook uses a lot of memory. You have ads running on the right side, there are videos running all over the place and there are a ton of graphics and effects.
Compare that to Google, for instance. Just some artwork and a search bar. Very low memory impact.
Depending on how much memory your Mac has and how many apps you're running at the same time, Facebook can sure slow your computer down. Most Macs can take additional memory modules.

No offense meant to Stuart423.
But Stuart says: " Just because one account performs differently from another account you cannot draw the conclusion that all accounts will perform the same way." Why? I have the same stuff on both accounts (ads, posts, videos, graphics, effects, so they should work the same. You prove otherwise.
Are you suggesting I close the account because it doesn't work? That won't help at all.

Two identical cars: both have the same engines, same air conditioners, same number of passengers, same type of tires and transmissions and everything else is the same. They came off the same assembly line one after the other. They are absolutely identical.
By your logic, neither car should be any faster than the other. Neither should get better or worse gas mileage.

Oh, I'm sorry. I misunderstood - I thought when you called me a liar (remember writing "...The reply from Stuart423 below is inaccurate..."?) you just wanted to argue.

I'm wondering if something has changed recently with Facebook--like all the notices "about this article". Anyway, this is happening on my MacBook as well. Not on the iPhone.
This webpage is using significant memory. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac. Not again!
