User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:127.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/127.0
Steps to reproduce:
Open firefox with any amount of tabs open.
Actual results:
I have three Elden ring wiki tabs open, one YouTube tab, a Reddit tab, and this current tab open on Firefox. It is using two Gb of memory with six total tabs open. Two entire Gigs worth of memory is beyond insane.
Expected results:
Used FAR less memory.

The Elden Ring tabs seem to run on a service called Fextralife, which is using a lot of memory and is loading a lot of ads. There doesn't seem to be anything Firefox specific about this and mainly just be a poorly designed website. As far as I can tell there is no Firefox bug. If you see different behavior on Chrome please re-open.
