Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Where?
They don't recognize it officially but people talk about all the time. It seems it's because Firefox doesn't have a tab freezing feature built in for inactive tabs so websites might have JavaScript errors that can cause this. There is literally a post on Firefox subreddit from 2 days ago with people talking about it. A friend of mine also recently finally caved and switched from Firefox to opera because his ram gradually got used more and more the longer he had Firefox open.
Share the post?
Sure https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1albowi/why_mozilla_firefox_uses_more_ram_as_time_passes/
Thanks for sharing that, but it seems awfully thin on details, which makes it hard for anyone to take it seriously, even if it’s a legit issue.
Good luck with this argument. This instance of firefox was there 3,000 years ago. I use it for work. When its up it gets to maybe twice that. A gig when videos are on tabs.
All I can say is what my experience was and what the experience of people I know was. I don't know what else to tell you other than that and that there are other people noticing similar things.
Linux user here, Firefox basically just stays open 24/7 are you sure it's not an extension? Maybe something else?
Troubleshooting step #1 was disabling all extensions. This was on a Windows machine.
Ok, and I'm sure you did uninstall reboot reinstall. Shit, I can't think of what that can be. Any themes installed? I know that can count as extensions but in case you overlooked it I'm mentioning it. I haven't seen this. Aside from a few things that I mentioned I can't think of what would be causing it maybe try to redownload a fresh copy. Idk I'm in it I'm just trying to help.
No themes. And I did try all kinds of stuff. One thing for sure. Waterfox doesn't do that for me so I've been using that. Maybe it was a windows issue at the time. (Maybe to push people to use edge. But that's too much of a conspiracy theory.) Waterfox works without that issue on windows and Linux for me and my friend who also switched after the same issue. I appreciate you trying to help.
I've not seen FF leak memory on Windows or MacOS in many years. Can you please provide a link to the bug or some more info on this issue?
Is this only on specific operating systems? I don't think I've noticed it on macOS and Windows.
Yeah I don't have this problem on Windows either but Chrome will chug endlessly through RAM
