User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:148.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/148.0
Steps to reproduce:
Go to Google Maps. Enter Streetview. Progress/"Drive" along a road for a few minutes.
Actual results:
VRAM and RAM use increase continuously and never seems to get released until the Google Maps tab is manually unloaded. I have reproduced this in troubleshoot mode.
This is an issue for me especially if I have another RAM/VRAM hungry program running (a video game for example). My computer eventually sometimes gets extremely slow and even might crash completely with a BSOD. The error will be dpc watchdog violation. I will add when my computer starts getting very slow it will actually often crash when I try to close the tab to fix the issue.
I have included some screenshots of the issue. I had to stitch them into one image since it seems I can only upload one file per bug report.
I monitored VRAM usage using hwinfo64. As you can see it shoots up to 90-99% while my video game is running. RAM usage also hovers around 90-99%. Firefox RAM usage dropped to 1 GB after unloading the Google Maps tabs and it fixed my slow computer.
Expected results:
I would expect Firefox to not keep so much data in memory while I have another memory hungry application running, causing my computer to slow down and/or crash.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Performance: Memory' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
Just some extra information after some more testing and thinking: it seems like the actual RAM usage for firefox when this happens very quickly shoots up after I start a video game.
Is it possible that when the game starts and requests VRAM firefox transfers the data it had in VRAM to RAM to free up space for the game? This would lead to the very high RAM usage that seems to slow my computer down massively.
I am not a developer or anything close to it so sorry if this is completely wrong and unwanted speculation.
