I am currently on Firefox 131.0.3 running minimal extensions and I am still having this memory hogging issue. It's just Firefox it seems as well, but the way it handles computer memory is atrocious. It used to be Chrome that would hog resources, so people moved away from it, but since then, it's become way better. Even when my tabs are in standby mode, the issue persists. 44GB of memory taken?! Are you serious?! It has to be a memory leak issue, because I couldn't launch an another application without first closing Firefox, because my computer reported that I was low on memory. It has to be a memory leak problem, because there's no way that 15 discarded tabs needs 44GB of memory. The firefox representative who told me that it wasn't actually using that memory and my computer was incorrectly reading mem usage was wrong.
Please fix the memory leak problem.
