1830179 - While viewing News9 NextGen Live Radar, all memory is consumed.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1829756

(Core :: Performance, defect)

Description

[MarkRH]

Attachment: Screen shot of memory used after a few minutes with just this one tab.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0

Steps to reproduce:

Using 112.0.2 in Windows 10 Pro at the moment.

While viewing the radar at https://www.news9.com/nextgen-live-radar and leaving the animation going I noticed the system slowing down and looking in task manager Firefox was using all the system memory. Even with a clean profile it seems to just slowly increase the memory used. Not sure if a Firefox problem or something with the website. I am mostly curious if this is happening for anyone else?

The 112.0.2 release notes mentioned memory being using by an animations with the bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1828587

I am not using an animated theme though. I'm just using the default one System Theme Auto 1.3. Not sure if the issue I am having is related to this bug or not.

Actual results:

Firefox kept using more and more memory.

Expected results:

Well, it should not keep on using more memory I would think.

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.

It looks like the memory issue for this site was previously reported, so I'll dupe this over there.
