User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0

Steps to reproduce:

Watching YouTube while doing something else GPU heavy like playing a game.

Actual results:

Memory usage kept increasing until other applications on my computer started to crash. Firefox was then using over 10Gb of memory

Expected results:

Firefox should stay way below 10Gb of memory usage.

It solved itself when closing that tab and opening a new one. Also probably a duplicate of 1679719
