Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Performance, enhancement)

Description

[Aiston Schmidt]

Attachment: memory-report.json.gz

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

Steps to reproduce:

I had 7 tabs open: YouTube, 3 Reddit tabs, 2 Bugzilla tabs, and aniwave.to open.

Actual results:

Averaging 1,590 MB of RAM with just these tabs open, with peaks at 1,610 MB

Expected results:

For FF to take up less RAM than that, preferably within the 600-800 MB range
