Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I only rarely look at about:memory but I also have a warning at the moment, which is:
WARNING: the following values are negative or unreasonably large.
- canvas-2d-pixel-bytes
This indicates a defect in one or more memory reporters. The invalid values are highlighted.
(It shows -129.95 MB which obviously can't be correct.)
I haven't searched for documentation on this page, but I'm interpreting this to mean that Firefox's internal math on memory usage is not correct. I don't take it to mean this is a permanent condition or poses any risk at the moment.
Were you just curious or are you concerned about possible data corruption? Is it something you see during every session?
i was just curious , i check memory use when i open profile folder to remove the files prefs.js, user.js and sessionstore.js to remove add on update checking on every start up and preferences not got saved. so yesterday when i check memory use then i see that warning message such message not appear before and now i check while writing this replay that warning message not more displayed.
