I have Firefox (always updated to the latest version) and I have noticed a memory leak that EATS up RAM. I have 1 tab open, playing a set spotify playlist. within 24 hours of rebooting the machine, Firefox has swallowed 7gb of my Memory as shown in Activity Monitor/Memory Pressure. I've been having this issue for some time, updates to MACos make no difference either. NO other program does this. I've tested the same playlist in other browsers, Chrome, Safari, uses 1gb, brave/opera uses less than 500mb and they've been open for over a week. This memory leak is a bug in Firefox. I've seen it before (other software, mainly on Windows) but never like this on a Mac......How do I escalate this?

Same issue here, Firefox latest update internal memory usage shows through about:memory total resident memory (approximate) -- 4,081.94 MB, the system runs out of application memory with Firefox actually using 55 - 44.84 GB, That amount is constantly growing and crushes system, requiring frequent restarts. The defect ticket opened 2 month ago by OP https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1990191 is not closed.
