Why does firefox use up all my ram over time?

Firefox App responsiveness

Ever since the latest update i've noticed my firefox browser after using it for a while starts eating up all the ram until my computer freezes and needs to restart, i've heard this issue happen to others too but i am wondering if there are any ways to prevent it or will there be any updates to fix it?

I use my firefox on bazzite and have nothing else running in the background, after a while i watch the stats in my task manager and i see firefox using over 10GB of ram and climbing and have to shut it down before it freezes my pc

(can't show any screenshots because if i do then my pc would probably crash when trying to SS it while it has its problem)
