Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:131.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/131.0

Steps to reproduce:

Keep Firefox open with like ~10 tabs

Actual results:

Expected results:

I understand browsers can be memory hogs, but 56+ GB surely cannot be intended.

Additional details: Restarting Firefox immediately cleared it up and now Firefox is only using ~1GB. If there's any steps I can take to make tracing this issue down, please let me know. I'm unsure of how reproducible it'll be, but I'll let Firefox keep running for a couple of days.

Please enter the address
about:memory?verbose
in the address bar and attach (using the "Attach New File" link above) the output here.
