I use Firefox on my workstation. The workstation runs 24/7 so Firfox is running then as well. The problem is that Firefox memory usage grows steady with the time. At the moment I have 6 tabs open and FF uses over 4GiB of RAM. If I close the browser and open the very same 6 tabs, it will be around 1GiB of RAM. How can I provide valuable logs etc. to debug this problem? Using the free memory commands from about:memory doesn't help.
