Weird Firefox Behavior, insane consumption and disk usage high, one off moment. Any ideas on what it could have been? Should I be worried?
To begin with I fell asleep with my PC on, and I woke up a couple of hours later, and I noticed my computer was running a little rough, so I decided to check task manager, and I saw Firefox using 20 gb's of ram, and 50% disk usage.
I had a couple of tabs open, and seeing that it was stressing my SSD, I decided to quickly close the process, and I checked through all the tabs, and there was only one tab that had crashed when I had ended the task on it. I am running version 99.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 21H2.
It was this link to a job posting for Riot Games. It had said that the tab had crashed and I had the option to refresh the tab. Not sure if it really was this or the tab just had some memory attached to that process. I had panic closed the process in task manager and forgot to screenshot anything else sadly.
Any ideas to what it was? Maybe just a memory leak or bug? My first instinct was to run a virus scan with Malwarebytes, and so far it has nothing, and I did a full scan of everything.
Have my extensions in the images. I've had these extensions for a long time at this point, I'm not sure if they would be the culprit or not.
I've never really seen or heard of this before, and this is the first time it's happened, and I don't know if it'll be repeatable either, just a bit worried about it is all.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Basically, an OOM (Out Of Memory) means the system is having issues with the RAM.

MemTest
Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/
in order to check the integrity of your RAM?
You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.
Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ?
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings
If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file. How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions of Windows {web link}
