[Firefox Memory Leak
Hi,
I recently facing an issue that the Firefox browser randomly maxed out my RAM and went unresponsive. Like the screenshot below, I am only trying to open Facebook and Instagram, 2 tabs.
I have tried to open about:memory and about:processes to monitor but it just went unresponsive and both the monitoring just hanged.
Have no idea why the Firefox process taking up so much RAM. Need help.

Can you post a screenshot of the task manager performance tab?
