Massive Memory and CPU usage while playing videos on youtube

Hi,

there are massive performance issues while playing videos on Youtube while using Firefox. This does not happen with the same video while using edge. The attached video shows the used memory and CPU of the youtube tab from the firefox process manager. This was taken after playing the video for 30s. Letting it run longer resulted in firefox taking up 20GB of RAM.

I think this happens since I installed 138.0 of firefox.

Could you please take a look.

Thanks.

Best regards
