• Leave it opened for a few minutes

Hi saaryogev,

Could you plase describe whether it is the same thing happening in your case just as in Bug 1427594?
Also, could you please try and reproduce this with all the addons disabled and also by using a fresh profile?
Let me know how it goes, thanks.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Performance' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

The memory report seems normal. If you could also help describe the exact steps to reproduce this problem and possibly attach a performance profile (https://profiler.firefox.com) , that would be appreciated.
