While I was sending the previous message and everything was freezing, I looked in the browser's Process 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 set the same theme, also measured a single tab, only 133 MB total and no CPU load.
I'll keep looking for what's eating the memory.
It probably accumulates over time, maybe it's not a big deal. The CPU does keep jumping constantly though. Well, Minimalism is lighter, I guess, I'll watch it on that for now.
I managed to reproduce the problem, 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.
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.
If the problem is on my side at the browser level, then of course the browser developers should fix it. I'm sure they have enough of their own stuff to deal with without solving third-party issues. In any case, thanks for making the problem clear.
