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 set the same theme, also measured a single tab, only 133 MB total and no CPU load.

I'll look into what's eating memory.

It probably accumulates over time, maybe it's not that important. Though the CPU does keep jumping constantly. And Minimalism is lighter, I guess, I'll watch it on that for now.

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 can't seem to 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 can find a workaround, we'll implement it, if not, we'll have to wait for FireFox to fix it.

Since the problem is on my side at the browser level, it should of course be solved by the browser developers. I'm sure they have enough of their own stuff to deal with without solving third-party ones. In any case, thanks for making the problem clear.

I've implemented forced memory cleanup for FireFox after all; I can't get it above 1 GB anymore, check how it is for you now.

It doesn't accumulate as fast now, and it wasn't really noticeable before either, but the temperature on the video doesn't rise, stays at 51 degrees the whole time, and the CPU doesn't jump to 100%. It runs quietly. Thanks.
