FF for Linux Mint mint-001 1.0 FF closes in just a couple of minutes, even with one open tab and nothing clicked or typed. FF crashes even in "Troublshooting Mode". "about.crashes" lists no crash reports Using Task Monitor to view system vitals, I discovered that while CPU usage by FF is very low, memory usage rises linearly over a couple of minutes. System memory available is 31.0 Gb. When FF usage reaches 30.7 Gb, FF crashes. No other browser or program has issues.

about:memory shows increasing memory usage, but I don't know how to interpret the report.

Using firefox -P in Terminal to create a new test profile eliminates the problem.

Following Grok recommendations, I opened the original troublesome profile and noted the linearly increasing memory usage, as before. I then entered about:support into a tab, and then clicked "Refresh Firefox" button and confirmed. Memory usage immediately dropped to a nominal level, apparently fixing the problem. I would prefer to know just what the problem was.
