Steps to reproduce:
Stream online YouTube radio for few hours, eg.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEmIPDs9CZw just leave it going.
Other music streams should work as well.
I'm using Linux Mint 19, but the problem is repeating since many generations of FireFox and Linux ago.
Actual results:
When play YT stream for few hours at one point stream start to skip, playback stops, then play, then stop and so on.
In system manager WebExtension is usually using maximum available RAM.
Sometimes system has to use swap memory not to destabilize.
Basically when i start playback the file is small and just keeps growing with no limits until it's oversized eg.7gb (System max is 8gb)
Additional info: In file attached I had limited processes number to 4 so it couldn't get to large - that is why it takes only 3,7GB of RAM
It was skipping anyway.
Expected results:
Should be using as much RAM as needed but no more than that.
There should be a limit on file size (maybe overwriting 1gb).
Maybe clearing memory once every in few minutes.
