Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
Steps to reproduce:
For some time, and at least for a couple version of firefox, I have the following issue. To be clear I am using the standard 64bit regular release channel version (no alpha/beta/nightly) which atm is 88.0.1.
Actual results:
When opening firefox, quickly about 450mb of my gpu memory is being used on a constant level. Disabling all add-ons and plug-ins and restarting the browser gives 480mb used. Going into Troubleshoot Mode/Save Mode makes it drop to 95mb used. These numbers all are according to taskmanager on win10-20h2-uptodate.
Expected results:
The basic system usage of the gpu memory will be below the 95mb, but the main issue is about the 350mb spike which I cannot explain. I hope it stops doing this as it creates a lot of unnecessary heat in my laptop which makes it blow its vans a bit too much to be nice.

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