Memory leak and Firefox hangs
Firefox just auto installed the latest version 145.0. After about 15-20 minutes of usage, Firefox stops responding and hangs. I ran the Task Manager (Windows 11) and found Firefox was consuming 96% of the available memory. I have to kill the task to regain control. I'm left with switching to a new browser and will probably never go back.

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
There were only 2 crash reports available. Possibly because I followed the online troubleshooting guide and refreshed Firefox and renamed the profile file?
