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

By any chance could you perhaps share information about the leaky website? If not here, perhaps send me email?
The memory report does show that one child process (something which loads a web page) uses lots of memory, mostly javascript.
And there seem to be quite a few addons too. Have you tried disabling some of the addons?

Hello, unfortunately I don't remember for sure the exact site for the memory-report. But it did happen multiple times with different sites, for example Reddit & Youtube. Closing tabs didn't help with the issue, only closing Firefox from task manager did temporarily, if I remember correctly I opened the memory report tool when only Firefox default home page was on (after closing other tabs).
I also did try running Firefox in safe-mode (which should disable extensions) when the issues were occurring and it didn't help with it. I haven't noticed the issues recurring after that day.
