9gag website performance issue.
Hello brothers and sisters, i am need help! I'm experiencing performance issues when surfing the 9GAG website. The amount of RAM consumed by this page is growing exponentially. It's gotten to the point where this tab can consume up to 5GB of memory, and that's not the limit. This issue hasn't happened before. I can't figure out what's causing it.
What I did to fix the problem: I reinstalled the browser. I reinstalled add-ons. I reset my old profile, saving only bookmarks and passwords. I reinstalled the operating system. None of this helped. However, my friends don't have this problem with this site. Please help.

Hi Uro Boros,
You certainly did a lot to fix this issue, but let's go back to basic for now. Can you go to about:processes and share a screenshot of 9gag entry from that page?
You can also try temporarily disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox Settings → General → Performance to see if it helps.
Additionally, the following articles may help with your issue:

Hello!
I have run a series of tests and am providing new information on the problem.
1. In the screenshots "1Before Eating RAM" and "2Before Eating RAM" you can see how much memory the 9GAG website is consuming in the task manager and browser before I start surfing this site.
2. In the screenshot "3Eating RAM" you can see in the Task Manager 9GAG process tab that is consuming 1,200 megabytes of RAM. In the "4Eating RAM" screenshot, you can see the Firefox process tree where the 9GAG website is eating up 2,000 megabytes of RAM. This amount of data will increase over time the more I scroll the page. This is just an example
Please help!
