Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Performance, defect)

Description

[Ludvig Lundberg]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:131.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/131.0

Steps to reproduce:

I search for something on google and just let the tab sit there, after a hour or two it uses 2+ gb of ram. As soon as i close that tab, everything works fine. If it sits for longer it just racks up ram usage.

Actual results:

high ram usage on idle google search tab

Expected results:

It should not rack up memory constantly
