Hey, I don't know if it's just me but maybe it might be an update or something but Firefox will spike in RAM usage, I'm talking about 3GB for one tab seemingly out of nowhere, and it's not website specific, it could a YouTube video, or Meet, it also doesn't matter whether the tab is active or not, the spike happens to any tab even background tabs and Firefox basically becomes unusable. I've restarted the browser, removed extensions nothing seems to help and my firefox is up to date.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

When the issue occurs, visit about:memory in the address bar and click the "Measure" button to get more details.
