Firefox Using More Memory over time

Firefox App responsiveness

Hello, I have noticed that using firefox without closing the browser for a while causes the memory to keep rising. It looks like it has a memory leak. After 3 days of watching YouTube I was using 4GB of memory. It was causing Slow Downs.

I have included 2 images with what is actually running and I have 2 Tabs in Standard Browser of Google and this Tab for this report then a YouTube dedicated browser using split tab.

Do you have many add-ons installed in Firefox?

I should clarify that this image is using after 4 days with that high memory usage. The 4 GB was last week which I have been testing since than and this seems a but too high again.
