User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

Steps to reproduce:

website https://www.dcroi.org/special-cohorts uses an AI chatbot from CustomGPT.

Actual results:

When using Firefox, it grabs all the memory on my computer and sends all the fans to high. This does not happen on other browsers and only started about ten days ago.

Expected results:

No extra memory usage. It's very bizarre!

I am not able to reproduce the issue on Firefox 125.0 on my machine.
Does the problem still happen if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for reporting this.
I'm not seeing an AI chatbot on https://www.dcroi.org/special-cohorts, can you verify the link please?

In addition, if you have any web extensions installed, can you list them?
