While I was sending the previous message and everything was freezing, I looked in the browser's Task Manager and hw was eating more than a gig of memory, not counting video, screenshot, alas, I didn't take one. I don't know, maybe it's normal for a modern engine. So I'll be like a cuckold, just watching from the sidelines what's going on here.

This is clearly something abnormal, we need to look into it. I installed the same theme, measured a single tab, only 133 MB total and no CPU load.

I'll keep looking for what's eating memory.

It probably accumulates over time, maybe it's not a big deal. The CPU does keep jumping constantly though. And Minimalism seems lighter, I'll watch it on that for now.

Managed to reproduce the issue, spent about 5 minutes sequentially opening different sections of the site and got up to 1 GB. It's a FireFox issue. They say it's some problem with ghost windows that FireFox just won't fix. It doesn't clear pages and just accumulates them; the profiler showed that after my experiments there were more than 50 such ghost pages, with only one tab open.

FireFox has had a bug open about this for a year now https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1949248

I'll experiment a bit more; if I find a workaround, we'll implement it, if not, we'll have to wait for FireFox to fix it.
