excess usage through firefox on Google Pixel 8

Firefox til Android Ydelse og forbindelse

My mobile phone contract has run out of its monthly data allowance. It appears from the usage page on the Pixel that on one day 5.6 GB were used through the Firefox app, orders of magnitude more than my normal usage.

1. How can I find out which ?tab used the data stream? 2, How can I prevent a re-occurance?

Thank you

Hi

Do you have any tabs open that are playing a video file?

The event happened about 4 days ago, then stopped. Is there a way to check back what was open and what it was doing?

You might get some clues from scrolling back through your browsing history in Firefox for Android.
